Table 1. What’s New in Siebel Object Types Reference, Version 8.0

Topic Description


2 Using the Object Types Reference

The following sections explain how to get the best use of Object Types information:

■ Conventions used in the object type descriptions. Read “Conventions” on page 15.

■ Properties that appear in many object types are described in “Properties with Consistent Meanings” on page 16.

■ Oracle’s Siebel Tools provides many object types that developers can modify. There are also internal object types that you should not modify. These are listed in “Nonconfigurable Object Types” on page 18.

■ Several object types and properties are no longer visible in Siebel applications. These are listed in “Hidden Object Types and Properties” on page 21.

ConventionsThe following conventions apply to object usage and the contents of this documentation:

■ You must spell object names as they are listed in the documentation.

■ A constant is case-sensitive and is usually spelled with all uppercase characters. Examples are TRUE and FALSE for Boolean fields.

■ In property description tables, the Property column contains one of the following values:

■ (R) Required. You must make an entry for this property, either to complete data entry for the record or for the object definition to work correctly.

■ (O) Optional. You are not required to enter a value.

■ (S) System. The system supplies a value, which you cannot alter.

(H) marks object types and properties that are not used by the Web Client. These are hidden from view and are not listed in the Object Explorer. If an object type is hidden its properties are also hidden. To reveal hidden object types and hidden properties, change the ClientConfigurationMode argument in the configuration file for Siebel Tools (tools.cfg).

To access hidden object properties

1 Exit Siebel Tools.

2 Open the tools.cfg file and change the ClientConfigurationMode argument to All.

3 Save the file and restart Siebel Tools.

The hidden object types and properties are now visible in Siebel Tools.

The following information details how to access object properties in Siebel Tools.


Using the Object Types Reference ■ Properties with Consistent Meanings

When first logging into Tools, the Object Explorer contains a listing of the most commonly used object types. The following instructions explain how to display more of the available object types.

To access object types

1 Start Siebel Tools.

2 Choose View > Options.

The Development Tools Options dialog box opens.

3 Click the Object Explorer tab.

The check boxes indicate which objects are visible. A box with a gray background indicates that at least one object within the hierarchy is not checked. A box with a white background indicates that all objects within its hierarchy are checked.

4 To make an object visible, check its box.

5 To make your changes active, click OK.

The Object Explorer now contains the object types you wish to use.

Properties with Consistent MeaningsThe following properties have consistent meanings across object types.

Property Description

Application Code Reserved for future use.

Changed (S) If TRUE, indicates that changes have been made to the contents of the corresponding object definition or its children since a date and time set in Tools > Options. FALSE indicates that the object definition and its children are unchanged since that time.

Comments (O) Provides a place for the developer to add descriptive information.

GParent, GGParent (S)

Name of the grandparent or great-grandparent object definition. This is a system-supplied value.

This can be seen for many types of objects in the Object List Editor if you select the Flat tab of the Object Explorer.

Inactive (O) Value is TRUE or FALSE. If TRUE, prevents this object definition from being compiled when you compile your Siebel repository file and being accessed by any other object definition.

Language Code (R)

The abbreviation of the language being used for the object type. For example, ENU stands for U.S. English.

Module Reserved for future use.


Using the Object Types Reference ■ Properties with Consistent Meanings

Needs High Interactivity (O)

A TRUE or FALSE value indicating whether high interactivity is being set for an object type. It is recommended that this property not be changed from the default value. Any changes could affect the productivity of the application.

Generally applies to Browser Script objects.

Object Language Locked

If an object is locked, this indicates the operating system of the computer the developer is using.

Object Locked A TRUE or FALSE value indicating if a specific object is locked by a developer.

Object Locked by Name

The user name of the developer who has locked a project either by checking out of the server or locking directly.

Object Locked Date

The date the object was locked either by checking out of the server or by locking the object directly in the UI.

Parent Name, Parent object_defn_name (S)

Name of the current object definition’s parent. This is a system-supplied value.

Note that the Parent Business Component property in the Link object type is different from the typical Parent object_defn_name property. It is a user-entered, required property.

This can be seen for many types of objects in the Object List Editor if you select the Flat tab of the Object Explorer.

Project (R) Identifies the project that contains the object definition.

Redo (O) Single-level redo of a field change or a record change.

Used by the Locale Management Utility for tracking locale- specific changes.

Repository Name (S)

Identifies the repository that contains the object definition.

String Override (O)

A language-independent override of the String Reference. If an override exists, then it is used in place of the String Reference.

This appears as <property_name>- String Override. Example: Display Name - String Override.

String Reference (R)

A pointer to a symbolic string. This appears as <property_name>- String Reference, for example: Display Name - String Reference.

Example: For the Account List Applet the value of Title - String Reference is SBL_ACCOUNTS-1004224727-0H5. In the Symbolic String Locale object, there is a record for this string reference. For the ENU language, the string value is “Accounts”.



Using the Object Types Reference ■ Nonconfigurable Object Types

Nonconfigurable Object TypesThe object types listed in this topic are used to manage the repository, or are for use by Oracle only and are not available for customer developers to configure.

■ “Object Types Used by the Siebel Enterprise Integration Manager” on page 18

■ “Objects Related to Information Access” on page 19

■ “Server Component Objects” on page 19

■ “Miscellaneous Objects” on page 20

CAUTION: Do not modify any of these object types. Any modification can adversely affect the performance and operation of your implementation.

Object Types Used by the Siebel Enterprise Integration ManagerThe following object types are used by the Siebel Enterprise Integration Manager:

■ “Attribute” on page 85

■ “Attribute Mapping” on page 85

■ “EIM Explicit Primary Mapping” on page 168

■ “EIM Interface Table” on page 168

■ “EIM Interface Table Column” on page 169

■ “EIM Table Mapping” on page 172

■ “Foreign Key Mapping” on page 191

■ “Foreign Key Mapping Column” on page 192

■ “Interface Table User Key Usage” on page 211

Translate (S) Used by the Locale Management Utility for tracking localization changes.

For Oracle use only.

Upgrade Ancestor (S)

The property is used for cases when the developer copies a business component (or applet or report) from an existing version.

The property is set on the copied object to the name of the original that it was copied from. For example, if a copy is made of the Account business component called ESG Account you would set the Upgrade Ancestor property of the ESG Account business component to Account. This instructs the Application Upgrader to upgrade the Sub Account business component in the same way it would upgrade the Account business component.

Type (O) The type of the applet. Valid values are Association List, Detail, MVG, Pick List, and Standard.




HTML Number of RowsIf this property is not specified for the applet, the application’s CFG file is checked. In the CFG file, the default number of rows for list applets belonging to that application can be specified using the NumberOfListRows property. If this property is also not specified, the property defaults to ten.

However, in some areas of the application, the default specified for this property has been set to seven. So for those areas, you might see a default of seven rows instead of ten.

Search SpecificationAn applet search specification cannot be used to override the search specification of the underlying business component, if the business component has one. Rather than overriding the business component’s search specification, the applet’s search specification is appended to that of the business component.

Siebel applications do not requery, and therefore keep the existing search specification, if you navigate to an applet without an applet search specification. There are two exceptions. The first is for child applets. An empty applet search specification is applied when it is on a child applet. The second is when the visibility mode changes for the parent applet. In this case, the applet level search specification should always be applied regardless of whether it is empty.

If two applets are defined with the same business component and both have a search specification, then the search specification for the applet in lowest sector is used.

Do not specify different search specifications where several applets in one view are based on the same business component. All of these applets should have the same or an empty search specification.

The applet search specification was not applicable to MVG and association applets in versions prior to 5.0 but is applicable in subsequent versions.

The search specification can change the query context for users performing queries.

Upgrade Behavior (R) This property is set by Oracle and can not be modified.

Indicates if the object should be ignored if the repository merge is run with the Incorporate Custom Layout option.

Admin or Null

Admin indicates that the object should be ignored. Null indicates that the object is to be processed by the Incorporate Custom Layout option.

Width (R)(H) The horizontal size of the applet in sector units.

Valid values are 1 and 2.

Example: The Revenue assignment attribute, which has a TRUE value for Use Range, displays two list columns, Revenue Low and Revenue High. The administrator would enter 50000 in the former and 100000 in the latter in a value record to indicate the range $50,000 through $100,000.



Siebel Object Types ■ Assignment Attribute Column (H)

Assignment Attribute Column (H)Siebel Object Types > Assignment Attribute (H) > Assignment Attribute Column

Assigns an assignment attribute to an assignment object and a workflow policy component column. These mappings set up value matching within the assignment object and workflow policy object for criteria that use the parent assignment attribute.

The parent assignment attribute is an abstract logical attribute to test for a value match and is specified in an assignment criterion by the administrator. Its child assignment attribute columns specify the actual mappings to assignment objects and workflow policy component columns. Each assignment attribute column can specify a different assignment object to search or a different attribute within the same assignment object.

Properties


Assignment Object (R) An assignment object that is to be checked for a value match with the parent assignment attribute.

Name (R) The name of the assignment attribute column. The typical format for the name is:

assignment_object: workflow_component_column.

Example: Service Request: Account Area Code.

Sequence (R) A unique sequence number for the assignment attribute column within the assignment attribute.

If an assignment attribute has multiple assignment attribute columns, Assignment Manager searches for attribute values in the order of the values in this property.

Integer value.

Workflow Component (R) The name of the workflow policy component, within the specified workflow policy object, with which this assignment attribute column is associated.

Logical mapping of a database table; for example, Account.


Siebel Object Types ■ Assignment Criteria (H)

Example: ENU.



Properties

Property List Applet Description/Usage Valid Values/Examples

Add Team Members (O)

Replace Team Members

A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Assignment Manager deletes existing team members from the teams and existing assignment rules in the assignment rule intersection table that no longer qualify.

FALSE — Assignment Manager never deletes existing team members from the assignment object, even if they no longer qualify.

Assignment Date Column (O)

The datetime stamp when a record was last assigned.

ASGN_DT



Assignment Mode (O)

Determines if Assignment Manager performs any filtering based on organizations or people.

Valid values are:

■ Independent. Assigns people and organizations that qualify, regardless of whether they are related or not.

■ Person-Oriented. Assigns people that qualify, then assigns only qualified organizations that the assigned people belong to.

■ Organization-Oriented. Assigns organizations that qualify, then assigns qualified people from those organizations.

■ Organization and Person-Oriented. Identifies all qualified people and organizations, then assigns only those that have both a qualified person and related qualified organization.

Assignment Scoring Mode (R)

Defines which mode is being used to determine an assignment, person-based or organization-based.

Person-based (default) — assignment rule score is set to the score of the highest-scoring candidate (existing behavior).

Organization-based — assignment rule score is set to the score of the highest-scoring organization for the rule.

NOTE: If no value is specified for this property, it defaults to Person-based.




Auto Reassign (R) A TRUE or FALSE value that turns on or off dynamic assignment for rules using this assignment object.

The Generate Triggers server component looks for this flag when it generates triggers for the active assignment policy. If the property is set to FALSE, no trigger is created for the update; the assignment occurs only once when the record is inserted.

TRUE — Assignment Manager automatically reassigns assignment objects when assignment attribute values are changed and when policies are defined. This is the default value.

FALSE — Assignment Manager does not automatically reassign assignment objects.

NOTE: If the value of this property is changed after running a Generate Triggers server component job, you must generate triggers again.

Calendar Activity Additional Fields (O)

A string that provides extra information to be used when creating an activity through availability-based assignment. This string follows a format of parent field, field 1, value1, field 2, value2.

When this field is specified, Assignment Manager sets the additional fields to the specified field values.

For more information about availability-based assignment, see Siebel Assignment Manager Administration Guide.

As an example, for the Service Request object, you can specify the following fields: Activity SR Id, Type, ToDo. When a new activity is created, these field values are used for the new activity.




Calendar Create Activity (O)

A TRUE or FALSE value that determines if an activity is created in an employee's calendar if assignment by availability is used.

NOTE: If using the Activity assignment object, activities may be created according to the following logic: If one employee passes from rules that have the Check Employee Calendar field turned on, and no employee passes from other rules, the same activity is reused.

If the assignment object in question is not Activity, new activities are created for each employee who passes. The “Parent Activity” for all activities is set to the original activity Id.

TRUE — Assignment Manager can create activities to block out time in an employee’s calendar.

FALSE — Activity is not created in employee’s calendar.

NOTE: If no value is specified, it defaults to FALSE.

Calendar Duration Column (O)

The column in the assignment object primary table that references the duration of the object. This is the time for which an employee’s schedule is blocked.

Required if using availability-based assignment.




Calendar Early Start Time Column (O)

The column in the assignment object primary table that references the early start time of the object.

This column stores the earliest date/time at which an activity can start. The time range from Calendar Early Start Time to Calendar Start Time represents the time range during which the activity can start.

Calendar Start Time Column (O)

The column in the assignment object primary table that references the start time of the object.

This column stores the latest time at which an activity can start. The time range from Calendar Early Start Time to Calendar Start Time represents the time range during which the activity can start.





Default Employee (O)

The login ID of the default employee.

Assignment Manager assigns this employee when a conflict occurs (that is, no assignment rules match or or when two exclusive rules pass with the same score) and it cannot select the correct set of employees.

If not specified, Assignment Manager sets the owner Id field in the object row to No Match Row Id.

Default Group (O) Not used. Not applicable.

Default Org (O) Default Organization

The name of the default organization. Assignment Manager assigns this organization when a conflict occurs (that is, no assignment rules match or when two exclusive rules pass with the same score) and it cannot select the correct set of organizations.

Siebel Object Types ■ Assignment User Prop (H)

Assignment User Prop (H)Siebel Object Types > Workflow Policy Object (H) > Assignment Object (H) > Assignment User Prop (H)

Communicates a property value to C++ code that implements specialized behavior. The values of these properties can be changed at configuration time. These values persist in the repository and the Siebel repository file.

There are two types of assignment user properties:

■ PositionTeamDenormN where N is any number

Use these properties to copy additional columns when replacing a position by another position from the same rule. For example, you use these properties when you need to replace an existing sales representative on an account team with another representative. For more information, see the topic on configuring assignment objects to copy additional columns to the team table in Siebel Assignment Manager Administration Guide.

■ User properties for availability-based assignment

For more information about availability-based assignment, see Siebel Assignment Manager Administration Guide.

NOTE: A Column user property takes precedence over a corresponding Value user property. For example, if you define a Breakable Flag Column user property and a Breakable Flag Value user property, the former user property takes precedence. The order of precedence for Assignment Manager is:

Column user property > Value user property > Calendar Activity Additional Fields property

Properties

Changing Undocumented User PropertiesCustomer developers can change only those user properties that have been documented. Only internal Oracle developers who create or change specialized C++ code should create or delete user properties that are not documented.

BitmapSiebel Object Types > Bitmap Category > Bitmap

Bitmap objects are implemented in Siebel 7.x as references to GIF and JPG image files used by button controls and other objects in the repository.

Properties


Alt Text (O) Alternative text used in place of name property for a bitmap.

Data (S)(H) The actual bitmap data.

File Name (O) The file name of the bitmap.

The default directory for this file is \public\language\images (example for language is enu for U.S. English).

Height (S) The height (in pixels) of the bitmap.

MIME Type (O) MIME type of the file’s content.

Name (R) The name of the bitmap object definition.

Transparent Color (O)(H)

A setting that provides 1-bit transparency support for logos, toolbars, buttons, and similar bitmap object definitions.

The color you select or enter in the Transparent Color property as an RGB triple indicates the color for which Clear is substituted. You can enter it as a triplet of integers, or when you click the Transparent Color button during a bitmap import, a color selection dialog box opens.

This is useful especially for toolbar buttons and applet command buttons, where the user may have a custom background color setting. When the button appears on the user’s background, you may want it to take on the background color from the application.

Width (S) The width (in pixels) of the bitmap.


Siebel Object Types ■ Bitmap Category

See Also“Applet” on page 29“Bitmap Category” on page 87“Command” on page 135“Hidden Object Types and Properties” on page 21“Toolbar” on page 314

Bitmap CategorySiebel Object Types > Bitmap Category

Provides the means to group bitmaps by function or some other relationship. The Bitmap object type is a child of Bitmap Category; therefore, every bitmap image in the repository must be found in exactly one bitmap category. Certain bitmap categories are predefined and must be used for their established purpose. For example, an applet’s Background Bitmap property always checks the Applet Backgrounds bitmap category for the specified bitmap file.

Properties


Name (R) The descriptive name of the bitmap category.

Predefined (O)(H)

A TRUE or FALSE value indicating one of two kinds of bitmap category.

TRUE — Predefined category. These typically contain both user-provided and Siebel application-provided bitmap files. Bitmap files can be added or removed from predefined categories, but the bitmap category object definition itself cannot be deleted or renamed.

FALSE — User-defined category. These typically have a specially named (by the Siebel application) bitmap in them, but the bitmap category object definition can be created, deleted, or modified by the user. These bitmaps are typically view bar logos, which have the fixed name Logo.bmp. The name of the bitmap category is user-provided and is referenced elsewhere (in the Bitmap Category property of the view, in this case).

BusComp Browser ScriptSiebel Object Types > Business Component > BusComp Browser Script

The browser script used by a Business Component object type. BusComp Browser scripts can be used for data validation. BusComp browser scripts are edited by right-clicking on the Business Component and selecting Edit Browser Scripts.


Alt Text (O)

Alternative text used in place of the parent name property for a bitmap for a specific language.

Name (R) The abbreviation of the language being used by the application. Example: ENU.

Properties

See Also“Business Component” on page 91

BusComp Server ScriptSiebel Object Types > Business Component > BusComp Server Script

Defines the scripts (Siebel VB or Siebel eScript) implemented for this business component object. For more information, read Siebel Object Interfaces Reference.

BusComp server scripts are edited by right-clicking on the Business Component and selecting Edit Server Scripts.

In version 7.0, the BusComp Server Script object type replaces the Business Component Script.

Properties


Browser Group (O)

Not currently used.


Do not modify this property. This is generated by Siebel Tools by combining the Browser Group and Procedure properties.


Script (R) This is the text for the function.





A value indicating the programming language of the script.

SBL — Siebel VB.


Script (O) Text for the function.

Sequence (O) Specifies the order of the script in compilation relative to other scripts for the same object.

Integer value.


Siebel Object Types ■ BusComp View Mode


BusComp View ModeSiebel Object Types > Business Component > BusComp View Mode

Defines allowable access control mechanisms that can be applied to the business component in any view.

Properties


Name (R) Name of the view mode. Valid values are Catalog, Group, Organization, Personal, and Sales Rep.

Owner Type (R) Used to identify the owner entity of the records in the current view mode.

For example, in the My Opportunities case, Position is an owner of an Opportunity record.

Valid values are Catalog, Category, Group, Organization, Person, and Position.

Private Field (O) Primarily used for business components that enable predefined queries, such as Bug Query List, and Query List.

For more information, read “Private Field” on page 91.

Visibility Field (O) Identifies the field used to establish single-owner based visibility.

The designated field is a record ID pointer field to records in the owner business component.


Siebel Object Types ■ Business Component

Private FieldThis property enables Siebel applications to include predefined queries that are partitioned by the user but still allow public queries, defined by an administrator, that show up in the same list. The value in this property specifies the name of a field that indicates private or public access to the record, generally named Private. If a field is specified as the Private Field, that field contains a TRUE or FALSE value in each record, indicating whether or not the record is private. If the record is marked as private and current visibility is in effect, then only the owner of the record can display it. If it is not marked as private and current visibility is in effect, then all users are able to display it.


Business ComponentSiebel Object Types > Business Component

Defines a logical entity that associates columns from one or more tables into a single structure. Business components provide a layer of wrapping over tables, and the applets reference business components rather than the underlying tables. This design creates convenience (all associated columns together in one bundle), developer-friendly naming, and the isolation of the developer role from the system administrator role.

A business component not only encapsulates data, but is used by the developer to define the behavior of the entity.

A virtual business component represents external data as a business component. For a list of supported and unsupported attributes on field objects in virtual business components, read “Virtual Business Components” on page 183.

Visibility MVField (O)

Specifies the name of the multi-value field used for maintenance of the list of owners in the team visibility case.

This property is used in conjunction with Visibility MVLink, which identifies the corresponding multi-value link. Typically the multi-value field points to the Name field in the Owner business component.

Valid values are Sales Rep, Organization, and Organization Id.

Visibility MVLink (O)

A property that specifies the name of the multi-value link used for maintenance of the list of owner records in team visibility case.

This property is used in conjunction with Visibility MVField, which identifies the corresponding multi-value field.

Valid values are Catalog Category and Organization.




You can add user properties to business components.

Properties


Browser Class (O)(H) Not used. Not applicable.

Cache Data (O) A TRUE or FALSE value.

For more information, read “Cache Data” on page 100.

TRUE — Data is read once for each query; that is, if the same query on a given business component is executed twice, the data is read only once. If the business component is queried again with different search specifications, the data is read again.

FALSE — Business component data is read each time the data is requested.

Class (R) The name of the class that dictates the behavior of the business component.

Example: CSSBcVAbsResult.

Data Source (O) Allows a business component to use a different configuration file data source name (such as Server or Local) than the one the application is currently using. This is necessary for business components whose data comes from a database other than the normal SQL database.

If a business component specifies a data source, then all the tables it joins to (implicitly and explicitly) must be in the same data source. This is appropriate where there is a pocket of self-contained functionality, such as server administration.

If this property is empty, then the data source that was used to start the product is used.



Dirty Reads (O) A TRUE or FALSE value. This property is ignored except when running against a Sybase database.

When TRUE, users read data that can be changed without their knowledge. This feature is desirable with applications because the data is available for reading and anybody can update it. If dirty reads were not allowed, then nobody could update the data until everybody was finished displaying the data.

However, if dirty reads are allowed, the data can be updated immediately as long as the same record has not been modified by another user since it was last queried. For example, if user 1 updates a record and user 2 is not aware of the change and tries to update the same record, user 2 gets a message stating that the data has been updated and he or she needs to query again.

TRUE (default) — The business component supports database dirty reads.

FALSE — The business component does not support database dirty reads.

Distinct (O) A TRUE or FALSE value.

Setting this property to TRUE suppresses system fields (such as Created, Updated, Id, and so). Therefore, you may want to clone this business component if you plan to use it in other areas within the application.

TRUE — System fields are suppressed.

FALSE — System fields are not suppressed.

Enclosure Id Field (O) The ID of a recipient of literature, usually the contact ID.




Extension Type (O) Used in conjunction with the extension tables.

If no value is specified, this property defaults to LINK if running Sybase and to JOIN otherwise.

LINK — A separate SQL statement is executed to retrieve the extended data; this property is used with a Sybase database server due to Sybase’s 2 KB record length limit.

JOIN — The extension table is joined and the extended data is retrieved with the rest of the data. If no value is specified, this property defaults to LINK if running Sybase and to JOIN otherwise.

Force Active (O) A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — All fields are automatically retrieved from the database server. This substantially degrades the performance of the business component and is not recommended.

FALSE — (Default) Only those fields registered by the user interface or by a specialized business component are retrieved. This improves performance by retrieving only those data items required by the user interface or specialized

GenReassignAct (O) A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — If the business component uses an MVG for visibility (sales team) and this value is TRUE, then an activity is generated when the primary team member changes.

FALSE — No activity is generated.




Hierarchy Parent Field (O) Enables the business component to be a specialized hierarchy business component. The field specified there stores the parent information in the hierarchies. Shows nesting in Hierarchical list applets.

Insert Update All Columns (S)

Used internally to make all SQL INSERT and UPDATE statements include all columns. During internal batch processing the program can reuse parsed statements much more effectively.

Do not modify this value.

Log Changes (O) A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Logging is enabled.

FALSE — Logging is disabled.

Maximum Cursor Size (O) If this property if set, it overrides MaxCursorSize in the configuration file.

The maximum number of records to retrieve from the database server (DB2 UDB only).

If -1, then records are retrieved until the EOF is reached; if a number is greater than 0, then, at most, that number of records is retrieved and reading is discontinued.

Also works for MVG business components. For more information, read “MVG Business Component” on page 101.

Valid values are -1 or a number greater than 0.

Multi Recipient Select (S) A TRUE or FALSE value.

Set by the Service Request business component.

TRUE — Multiple noncontact record selection for correspondence generation is allowed.

FALSE — Multiple noncontact record selections for correspondence generation is not allowed.




Name (R) A name for the business component. The name must be unique among business components. It can contain spaces but it cannot contain special characters.

No Delete (O) A TRUE or FALSE value that puts limitations on what operations can be performed on the business component.

This property is ignored if the current view has the property Admin Mode Flag set to TRUE.

TRUE — New records cannot be deleted through the business component.

FALSE — New records can be deleted through the business component.

No Insert (O) A TRUE or FALSE value that puts limitations on what operations can be performed on the business component.


TRUE — New records cannot be added through the business component.

FALSE — New records can be added through the business component.

No Merge (O) A TRUE or FALSE value that puts limitations on what operations can be performed on the business component.


If this property is set to FALSE, then the No Delete property must also be set to FALSE, because merging requires that one of the records be deleted.

TRUE — The user cannot merge two existing records into a single record.

FALSE — The user can merge two existing records into a single record.

No Update (O) A TRUE or FALSE value that puts limitations on what operations can be performed on the business component.


TRUE — Records cannot be updated through the business component.

FALSE — Records can be updated through the business component.




Owner Delete (O) A TRUE or FALSE value that establishes the deletion rights of the user to the business component.

The owner of a record in a business component set up for team visibility mode (non-blank Visibility MVLink and Visibility Emp MVField properties) is the primary position on the sales team.

The owner when set up for position-based personal visibility is the position in the field pointed to by the Position Visibility Field property.

When a view is designated for Admin mode, the Owner Delete protection is disabled, and anyone having access to the view can delete any record.

TRUE — Only the owner (under personal or team visibility) can delete the record.

FALSE — Anyone can delete the record.

Placeholder (O) Not used. Not applicable.

Popup Visibility Auto All (O) A TRUE or FALSE value.

If TRUE then if user has access to any “All” views, then pop-up visibility is All; otherwise pop-up visibility is determined by Popup Visibility Type property.

Popup Visibility Type (O) The type of pop-up visibility.

If null, then the default value of Sales Rep is used.

Values are All, Personal, Sales Rep, Manager, Organization, Sub-Organization, Group, and Catalog.




PreFetch Size (O) If this property if set, it overrides MaxCursorSize in the configuration file.

Used in conjunction with the Maximum Cursor Size property (DB2 UDB only). PreFetch Size controls how many records are requested up front while the business component is being accessed.

When you set this number to be the same as the Maximum Cursor Size during the execution call, the PreFetch Size number of records is read. Because that number is the same as Maximum Cursor Size as well, the database cursor is closed, freeing up the cursor to be used for the next query.

Also works for MVG business components. For more information, read “MVG Business Component” on page 101.

Recipient Id Field (O) The ID for a recipient of correspondence, usually the contact ID. This is the field of the other business object that contains the ID, not the ID itself.

Reverse Fill Threshold (O) The maximum number of records to read when executing the “first record” or “last record” request before the SQL statement is automatically re-executed with a reversed sort sequence.

The default is 100.

Scripted (S) A TRUE or FALSE value indicating whether the business component has a Siebel VB or Siebel eScript script attached to it.



Search Specification (O) A conditional expression used to restrict the records retrieved.

The property text is limited to 255 characters.




Sort Specification (O) A sort expression used to order the records returned.

Use of a specialized business component class (that is, other than CSSBusComp) may disable a sort specification.

Because predefined queries are shared across all visibility types, most likely the current sort specification may be slow in the All and Manager view modes. For this reason, Siebel applications force the sort in the All Visibility Mode to be on the primary key and on a column in the denormalized reporting relationship table for Manager mode.

Users can still sort records after the initial query. For better performance, they should do so after filtering for a smaller record set.

You cannot define a sort specification


For more information, read “Sort Specification” on page 101

Status Field (O) The name of a field whose value determines the New status for a record.

If the specified field evaluates to TRUE, it indicates that the record is new. If FALSE, it indicates that the record has been viewed.

This property should be used in conjunction with the visibility properties on the business component, such as Visibility MVLink and Position Visibility Field.

Synonym Field (O) A field (single- or multi-value) that contains synonyms for the business component. When this property is specified, bounded picklists on the business component search the synonyms for matches as well as the appropriate name field.




Restrictions on Inserts, Updates, and DeletesAlthough other tables can be specified within a business component using a join, all INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE operations are performed on the table defined by the business component’s Table property.

PersistenceThe persistence of a particular instance of a business component ends when the instance of the business object that is referencing it ends.

Cache DataIf you cache the contents of a business component and the contents are changed, the business component shows “stale” data. This occurs when the same user changes part of the contents through another business component (for example, a multi-value link business component) or “user two” changes the data while “user one” is still connected.

For this reason, you should use caching only with semistatic data like lists of values and products. Do not use caching with volatile data like accounts and opportunities because of the potential for the client-side cache to be out of sync with what is actually in the database.

Do not set both the Cache Data property of the Business Component object and the Use Primary Join property of the Multi Value Link object type to TRUE. This is because if the primary record on the MVG business component is changed, the update is not reflected in the (cached) parent.

Table (R) The name of the primary SQL table where records are retrieved.

This property is not used for virtual business components.

The table’s name is case-sensitive and must be specified the same as it is in the database.

XA Attribute Value BusComp (O)

Specifies if the business component has extended dynamic attributes enabled.

This property indicates which child business component stores the attribute values for this business component.

XA Class Id Field (O) Specifies if the business component has extended dynamic attributes enabled.

This property indicates which field in this business component stores the class info.



Siebel Object Types ■ Business Component User Prop

MVG Business ComponentMaximum Cursor Size and PreFetch Size properties also work for MVG business components. These properties are available for DB2 UDB only. The number of rows returned for the first operation is affected by the following:

■ If the MVG business component is using aggregation (for example, the sum or count functions), every record is read.

■ The MVG business component tries to make the primary record the current record. Therefore, the MVG business component loads records until the primary record is found. So, if the primary record is number 4000, then 4,000 records are loaded.

To prevent this behavior of reading up to the primary record, you could use a detail view (for example, Contact-Address detail view, with the Contact in the top applet, and a list of addresses in the bottom applet) instead of the MVG.

Sort SpecificationAt times, it might appear that the All and Manager view modes are being ignored in the Siebel application. This is not always the case. The All Mode Sort business component user property also controls the behavior for the All and Manager view modes. For more information about this user property, read Siebel Developer’s Reference.

ChartSiebel Object Types > Applet > Chart

Displays graphical data within the boundaries of its applet.

Properties


Name (R) The name of the business service user prop.

Value (R) The value of user property.


Bar Colors (O) A list of colors for bars or pie slices in an itemized list of red, green, and blue triplets. The first triplet specifies the color for the first series, the second triplet for the second series, and so on. If the list contains fewer triplets than series members, the list of colors repeats.

Up to 15 triplets can be specified. Each number in a triplet must be between 0 and 255; for example, 128 0 0, 0 128 0, 0 0 128.

The default value is 0 255 0,0 0 255,255 0 0,255 0 255,255 255 0,0 255 255,255 0 128,255 128 0,0 255 128,128 0 255,255 255 128,128 255 255,128 128 64,128 64 128,64 128 128.

Category Captions (O)

Caption for the x-axis.



Category Field (R) When the business components records are scanned, the different values found in this field get mapped into different categories. These values are displayed on the chart’s x-axis labels.

For more information, read “Category Field” on page 117.

Compare (O)(H) Obsolete. Do not use. Not applicable.

Data Function (O) An operation to perform on the data.

If COUNT is the only data function you want to apply to the chart (because the Picklist Functions property is empty), you can achieve better performance by not specifying a Data Point Field property value.

For more information, read “Data Function” on page 117.

COUNT — Counts the number of records.

SUM — Sums the specified field values across all records in the category.

AVERAGE — Calculates the average value for each record of the specified field.

PLOT — Plots all cell values. When a cell in the logical table does not have a value, the chart’s value is set to NULL instead of 0.

Data Point Captions (O)

Caption for the y-axis.

Data Point Field (O) A field to be charted whose data gets plotted on the y-axis. If this property is not specified, then specify COUNT as the Data Function value.

For more information, read “Data Point Field” on page 117.

Editable (O) Obsolete. Do not use. Not applicable.

Invert (O) A TRUE or FALSE value that indicates if the x-axis and z-axis, and their labels and titles, can be flipped.

Selecting a By picklist item changes this property (except in period charts, where it changes the period on the x-axis).

TRUE — Flips the x-axis, z-axis, labels, and titles. This may be useful for getting a different view of the data.

FALSE — Does not flip the x-axis, z-axis, labels, and titles.




Multi Data Point (O) A TRUE or FALSE value that plots multiple line-graph curves against the same y-axis based on different source field/function combinations. The name for each curve appears in the legend.

To accomplish this, you need to set the following property values in the chart object definition: Data Point Field, Data Function, Picklist Functions, and Multi Data Point.

TRUE — Plot multiple curves.

FALSE (default) — Multiple curves not plotted.

Name (R) The name of the chart.

Period (O) The default period for this chart, either a calendar period or a user-defined period.

If this property is specified, the field type of the Category business component must be Date or DateTime.

A user-defined period can be any period defined in the Period business component, such as fiscal month, quarter, and year. For user-defined periods to work in a chart, the Period business component must be added to the current business object.

Valid values are Day, Week, Month, Quarter, and Year.

Picklist Function Captions (O)

Captions for the list of functions used by the y-axis.




Picklist Functions (O)

The data functions to list in the applet’s Show picklist.

To suppress a function in the picklist, do not specify a string in the position of that function.

For more information, read “Picklist Functions” on page 118.

By default, none is specified and the picklist does not appear in the applet.

This property accepts a comma-separated list of y-axis titles, which are also the entries that appear in the picklist. The order of titles in the comma-separated list determines the association of each with a data point field and data function in the corresponding positions in the Data Point Field and Data Function properties.

Example: Number of Opportunities, Opportunity Revenue, Average Revenue.

Picklist Period Captions (O)

Captions for the list of date periods used by the x-axis.

Picklist Periods (O) A comma-separated list of possible periods that appears in a picklist in the applet.

Do not put a space after a comma in the list of values.

For user-defined periods (fiscal periods) to work in a chart, the Period business component should be added to the current business object.

If not specified, a period picklist does not appear.

Examples: Month(Calendar),Quarter (Calendar), Year(Calendar),Day,Week,Month,Quarter,Year.

Picklist Type Captions (O)

Captions for the types of charts.

Picklist Types (O) A comma-separated list of valid chart types other than 2dScatter, 3dScatter, or Combo (these three chart types are treated specially and can be specified only in the Type property). This property specifies which chart types are listed in the applet’s picklist.

Do not put a space after a comma in the list of values.

For a list of chart types, read the description of the Type property.

If not specified, a picklist does not appear.

Example: 2dBar,3dBar.




Comma-Separated ListsWhen specifying a comma-separated list of values, do not include a space after the comma.

Selection Based (O) A TRUE or FALSE property that specifies whether to chart only the currently active record in the business component.

TRUE — Chart only the currently active record in the business component.

FALSE — Chart all records in the business component.

Series Captions (O) Caption for the z-axis.

Series Field (O) Specifies a field for z-axis labels. When scanning the business component’s records, Siebel applications map the different values found in this field into different series. These values are displayed on the chart’s z-axis labels.

When no series is specified, all of the records are mapped into a single series.

For more information, “Series Field” on page 118.

Type (O) The type of chart to be displayed.

For combo charts, a Data Point Field must be specified. Its Sum (Data Function) displays on the y-axis and its Count displays on the second y-axis.

For 2dScatter and 3dScatter charts, the Coordinates property for the axis label of the x-axis must be specified (see the Chart Element object type).

Valid values include:

■ 2dBar, 3dBar, 2dStackedBar, 3dStackedBar, 2dLine, 3dLine, Combo, 2dHorizBar, 3dHorizBar, 2dCube, 3dCube

■ 3dClusteredBar, 2dPie, 3dPie, 2dDoughnut

■ 2dScatter, 3dScatter, 2dSpline, 3dSpline

Use Category MVGroup Data (O)

A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — If the category field is a multivalue group (MVG), Siebel applications must obtain the charting data from the field.

NOTE: You cannot use the Data Function, Data Point Captions, and Data Point Field properties when setting this property to TRUE.

FALSE (default) — Use the value listed in the business component.




Category FieldIf the Category Field property contains the name of a field from the business component, the x-axis labels are derived from the contents of that field. The By picklist in this case offers the choice between using the x-axis or the z-axis to display the field values.

If the Category Field property contains a comma-separated list of field names, the user is provided with this list of fields at run time in the By picklist. The user's selection determines the field that populates the x-axis. The first value in the comma-separated list is the default. Avoid blank spaces before or after field names. The properties of the chart element that apply to the axis label for the x-axis (Coordinates, Display Format, Divisions, List Of Values, Sort Specification, and Text) should not be used when specifying a list of x-axis source fields, as they can only be relevant for one x-axis field.

If a new field is created in the business component on which the chart is based, and this new field is mapped on to a Calculated field in another business component through a multi-value link and this same new field is used as a category field for the chart, then the drilldown on the chart breaks. The drilldown breaks because the Calculated field cannot preserve the context.

Data FunctionThe Show picklist can be configured to display a selection list of field/function combinations, the selection from which determines what values are plotted along the y-axis. To configure this, a comma-separated list is entered in the Data Point Field, Data Function, and Picklist Functions properties. In the Data Function property, the comma-separated list consists of SUM, COUNT, AVERAGE, and PLOT entries. If the Data Function property is empty or shorter than the Picklist Functions list, the list Sum,Count,Average,Plot is used.

Multiple line-graph curves can be plotted against the same y-axis, based on different source field/function combinations. The name for each curve appears in the legend. To accomplish this, set the following property values in the chart object definition: Data Point Field, Data Function, Picklist Functions, Category Field, and Multi Data Point (Series Field must be empty). In the Data Function property, provide a comma-separated list consisting of the following function names: SUM, COUNT, AVERAGE, and PLOT.

Two line-graph curves can appear in the same chart, plotted against different y-axes (one to the left of the graph, the other to the right). To accomplish this, in the Data Function property specify two functions, separated by a comma. The first is for the left y-axis, the second is for the right y-axis. You also must specify two fields in the Data Point Field property.

Data Point FieldThe Show (ChartPickfunction) picklist can be configured to display a selection list of field/function combinations, the selection from which determines what values are plotted along the y-axis. To configure this, a comma-separated list is entered in the Data Point Field, Data Function, and Picklist Functions properties. In the Data Point Field property, the comma-separated list consists of the names of source fields, one for each entry that is to appear in the Show picklist. The first entry in the list is the default. If only one field is specified, all entries in the Show picklist use the same field.



Multiple line-graph curves can be plotted against the same y-axis, based on different source field/function combinations. The name for each curve appears in the legend. To accomplish this, set the following property values in the chart object definition: Data Point Field, Data Function, Picklist Functions, Category Field, and Multi Data Point (Series Field must be empty). In the Data Point Field property, provide a comma-separated list of source fields, one for each curve to appear in the graph.

Two line-graph curves can appear in the same chart, plotted against different y-axes (one to the left of the graph, the other to the right). To accomplish this, in the Data Point Field property specify two fields, separated by a comma. The first is for the left y-axis, the second is for the right y-axis.

Picklist FunctionsThe Show (ChartPickfunction) picklist can be configured to display a selection of Field/function combinations, the selection from which determines what values are plotted along the y-axis. To configure this, a comma-separated list is entered in the Data Point Field, Data Function, and Picklist Functions properties. In the PicklistFunctions property, the comma-separated list consists of y-axis titles, which are also the text that appears in the picklist. The list of titles needs to have the same number of entries as the Data Point Field list.

Multiple line graph curves can be plotted against the same y-axis, based on different source field/function combinations. The name for each curve appears in the legend. To accomplish this, set the following property values in the Chart object definition: Data Point Field, Data Function, Picklist Functions, Series Field, and Multi Data Point. In the Picklist Functions property, provide a comma-separated list of the y-axis titles, which are what identify the individual curves in the legend.

Series FieldIf the Series Field property contains the name of one field from the business component, the z-axis labels are derived from the contents of that field.

If the Series Field property contains a comma-separated list of field names, the user is provided with this list of fields at run time in the second By picklist. The user’s selection determines the field that populates the z-axis. The first value in the comma-separated list is the default. The properties of the chart element that apply to the axis label for the z-axis (Coordinates, Display Format, Divisions, List Of Values, Sort Specification, and Text) should not be used when specifying a list of z-axis source fields, as they can only be relevant for one z-axis field.

Axis Id (O) The axis to which subsequent axis elements apply.

Applies to the AxisLabel, AxisLineGrid, and AxisTitle elements.

Valid values are XAxis, YAxis, Y2Axis, and ZAxis.

Color (O) For elements containing text, sets the text color. For the Plot element, the chart element, and the HorizArea graphic, sets the fill color. For the Axis Line Grid element and the Line, Rectangle, Ellipse, and HorizLine graphics, sets the line color.

Applies to all elements.

Valid values are a space-separated red, green, blue triplet with each value in the range 0–255.



Coordinates (O)

Specifies coordinates for AxisLabel and Graphic elements.

Rectangle, Ellipse, and Line apply only to scatter charts, whereas HorizLine and HorizArea apply to all charts. For histogram charts, coordinates are required for the axes that are being “bucketized” (the Divisions property is also required for histogram charts).

Applies to the Graphic and AxisLabel elements. Required for Graphics, for x-axis labels in scatter charts, and for x-axis and z-axis labels in histogram charts.

For AxisLabel, specifies the minimum and maximum values for the axis (Axis Id); two numbers are required (min max).

For Rectangle and Ellipse, four numbers are required (left bottom top right).

For Line, four numbers are required (x1 y1 x2 y2).

For HorizArea, two numbers are required (minYaxisValue maxYaxisValue).

For HorizLine, one number is required (YaxisValue).

Examples:

AxisLabel: 0 1000000 (range between 0 and 1 million)

HorizLine:40000 (horizontal line drawn at y = 40000)

HorizArea:20 50 (horizontal area drawn between y = 20 and y = 50)

Rectangle, Ellipse, or Line: 60 1000 80 3000 (coordinates of graphic)

Display Format (O)

Formats labels on the specified axis (Axis Id). When this property is specified, the axis labels are passed through the formatting string before they are displayed in the chart. Otherwise, the default formatting for the business component Category, Series, or Data Point Field is used for the x-, z-, or y-axis.

Applies to the AxisLabel element.

Valid values include any formatting string that Display Format accepts; for example, 0.##%.




Divisions (O) Sets the number of divisions in the specified axis (Axis Id) for axis labels (AxisLabel element). For example, if the Divisions value is 4, five labels are drawn on the axis.

This property always applies to the y-axis. For scatter charts, it also applies to the x-axis. For other charts, this property applies to the x-axis or z-axis (where the field values are numbers), in which case the data is “bucketed” into a histogram chart. (The Coordinates property must also be set for histogram charts.) The axis of interest must show numeric data. Otherwise, labels display and there is no bucketing.

Applies to the AxisLabel element. Required only for x-axis and z-axis in histogram charts.

Valid values include numbers greater than 0. If no value is specified, the number of divisions is calculated automatically.

Font Effect (O)(H)

Identifies the effect to use in drawing the element’s text.

Applies to the AxisLabel, AxisTitle, Legend, and Title elements.

Valid values are Regular, Underline, StrikeThrough, and StrikeThroughUnderline.

Font Name (O)

Specifies the name of the font to use for the element’s text.

Applies to the Axis Label, Axis Title, and Title elements.

Font Size (O) Specifies the font size to use for the element’s text. This font size applies when the chart is minimized and the screen resolution is 1024 by 768 or higher. When the chart is maximized, Siebel applications use a larger font. When the screen resolution is lower, Siebel applications use a smaller font.

Applies to the Axis Label, Axis Title, and Title elements.

Font Style (O)(H)

Specifies the font style to use for the element’s text.

Applies to the AxisLabel, AxisTitle, Legend, and Title elements.

Valid values include Regular, Bold, Italic, Outline, BoldItalic, BoldOutline, ItalicOutline, and BoldItalicOutline.




Graphic Type (O)

Specifies the type of Graphic element to draw. The geometry of the given graphic is specified in the Coordinates property.

The Graphic Type property must be set when the chart element has the type Graphic.

Applies to the Graphic element.

Valid values include Ellipse, HorizArea, HorizLine, Line, and Rectangle. Ellipse, Line, and Rectangle apply only to scatter charts (2dScatter or 3dScatter). HorizArea and HorizLine apply to all charts.

Line Style (O)

Specifies the line style for a Graphic or AxisLineGrid element. This property applies only when the Line Width property is set to 0 (or left empty).

Applies to the AxisLineGrid and Graphic elements.

Valid values are Solid, Dash, Dot, DashDot, and DashDotDot.

Line Width (O)

Specifies the line thickness for an AxisLineGrid or Graphic element.

Applies to the AxisLineGrid and Graphic elements.

Any positive number is a valid value. The default is 0, a thin line.

List Of Values (O)

Describes the list of possible values for the specified x-axis, y-axis, or z-axis (Axis Id). Setting this property, which applies to the AxisLabel element, enables the user to specify values that are not represented (such as 0 or an empty value).

If this property is applied to the y-axis, then the string values are shown on the y-axis instead of numeric values.


By default, only the corresponding field values found in the current business component are used for a given axis.

A valid value for this property is in the following format:

Business Component,Field Name,Search Spec,Sort Spec.

This comma-separated list includes a business component that is part of the current business object, a field from which to obtain the values, a specification of the search (Search Spec) to be performed on the business component, and a specification of the sort (Sort Spec) to be applied to the business component. For example:

List Of Values,Value,Type = LEAD_QUALITY,Order By

and

Sales Cycle Def,Sales Cycle Stage,Sales Stage Order.




Log Base (O) Sets an axis to be logarithmic instead of linear.


Possible values include any positive number. For example, if the value of LogBase is 10, the axis shows 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, and so on; if the value is 2, the axis shows 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and so on.

Name (R) The name that is unique within the chart.

Show Category Legend (O)

Specifies whether to show a legend window for the given axis (Axis Id). This property applies to the AxisLabel element, for only the x-axis and z-axis.

If the x-axis labels are long or if there are many labels, the labels might overlap.


Value is TRUE or FALSE. If TRUE, always shows the entire x-axis group label along the x-axis.

By default, whenever there is more than one group on the x-axis, an x-axis legend window is shown, and only the first three letters of each x-axis group are shown along the x-axis.

Sort Specification (O)

Specifies the sorting operation to be performed on the given axis (Axis Id). A field name appended to one of these values specifies sorting based on a column other than the Category or Series.

This property applies to the AxisLabel element, for the x-, y-, or z-axes. It does nothing when the List Of Values property is set. Behavior of the x-axis and z-axis is as described in the previous paragraph. Behavior of the y-axis is to sort the x-axis labels based on y-axis numeric values. If there is a Sort Specification value for the y-axis, there cannot be one in the x-axis.

Valid values are Ascending, Descending, and None.

Example:

Ascending,Sales Stage Order

specifies a sort based on Sales Stage Order instead of Sales Stage.

Text (O) Specifies the text to display for the element.

Applies to the AxisTitle, Legend, and Title elements. It also applies to the HorizLine Graphic element.

For Applet Messages, this should be set to FormatData. This allows the use of newlines and spaces in the Applet Message.

Valid values are EncodeData, DontEncodeData, and FormatData.

For more information, read “HTML Display Mode” on page 152.




HTML Height - Language Override (O)

Provides the ability to change the height, in pixels, of the control when a particular language/locale is active.

HTML Height (O) Java applet, ActiveX and input type controls.

Height of control in pixels.

In general this property should not be changed manually. This property is automatically set when editing an applet layout in the Tools layout editor. When using a TextArea field that spans multiple fields, you may find the need to add 2 pixels for each row to account for the buffer between fields on a grid-based form.

Example: On the Service Request Detail Applet for the Description control, the TextArea field spans three rows of single-row fields. To keep the bottom of this field aligned with the other fields (such as Home Phone#), you must increase the HTML Height. The increase is an additional 2 pixels for every row of fields the TextArea field spans, not including the first row.

In this case, Description spans three rows of fields, so the HTML Height property should be increased by (2 rows) x (2 pixels), or 4 pixels total. The original HTML Height of 72 pixels should be adjusted to 76 pixels.

HTML Icon Map (O) Can be set to an Icon Map object. Used to map field values to icons as defined in the Icon Map.

Only applies when the parent applet is in base mode or the control is read only. Property does not limit the number of characters that can be entered into a text control in edit mode.

HTML Only (O) A TRUE or FALSE value to indicate whether the control is used only in the HTML thin client.

TRUE — The control is used only in the HTML thin client.

FALSE — The control is also used in the dedicated client.

HTML Row Sensitive (O)

Causes the Web engine to position the applet on the current record before invoking the method defined in the Method Invoked property.

Examples of methods that require this to be set to TRUE are EditRecord, DeleteRecord, and Drilldown.

HTML Sequence - Language Override (O)

Provides the ability to change the HTML sequence property when a particular language/locale is active.

HTML Sequence (O) The (order) position of this control relative to other controls in the applet in the HTML thin client. Indicates tab sequence.

HTML Type (O) Defines how the control is to be rendered. If this is not set, then the application uses the Type property.

For Applet Messages, this should be set to Plain Text. This enables wrap-around behavior when the text is long.

HTML Width - Language Override (O)

Provides the ability to change the HTML Width property when a particular language/locale is active.




HTML Width (O) Java applet, ActiveX and input type controls.

The width of the control in pixels in the HTML thin client (maximum is 2048).

Left - Language Override (O)(H)

Provides the ability to change the left coordinate of a control when a particular language/locale is active.

Left (O)(H) All The left coordinate of this control in pixels.


Left Text (O)(H) CheckBox A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Puts the text on the left side of the control.

Method Invoked (O) PushButton The method invoked when the button control is clicked. This property is ignored if the control type is not PushButton.

Methods available for a button control depend on the class of the applet as well as the class of the business component. The basic methods available for CSSFrameList and CSSFrame applet classes are NewRecord, DeleteRecord, CopyRecord, and UndoRecord. Use other methods with caution.

For more information, read “MethodInvoked” on page 152 and Siebel Developer’s Reference.




Multi Line (O)(H) TextBox A TRUE or FALSE value indicating a multiple-line TextBox control.

If the Automatic Vertical Scroll style is TRUE, the control shows as many lines as possible and scrolls vertically when the user presses Enter.

If Automatic Vertical Scroll is FALSE, the control shows as many lines as possible and beeps if Enter is pressed when no more lines can be displayed. If Automatic Horizontal Scroll style is TRUE, the multiple-line control automatically scrolls horizontally when the cursor goes past the right edge of the control.

To start a new line, the user must press ENTER. If Automatic Horizontal Scroll is FALSE, the control automatically wraps words to the beginning of the next line when necessary; a new line is also started if ENTER is pressed. The position of the text is determined by the window size. If the window size changes, the text is redisplayed.

Multiple-line TextBox controls can have scroll bars. A TextBox

The default is single line.

MVG Applet (O) TextBox The applet to use for the pop-up MVG if the field for the control is a multi-value field and the Runtime property is set to TRUE for the control.

Name (R) All The name for the control.




Owner Draw (O)(H) PushButton A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Displays on the button a bitmap specified in the Caption property.

TRUE — Prevents the control from being edited.

Runtime (O) TextBox A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Makes a run-time check to see if a pop-up button is provided for a picklist, calculator, calendar, or MVG (any control with a down arrow or glyph).

FALSE — The application assumes that there is no picklist or MVG or the field is Date or Time in DateTime.

Sequence - Language Override (O)(H)

Provides the ability to change the order of controls when a particular language/locale is active.

Sequence (O)(H) All The (order) position of this control relative to other controls in the applet. Indicates tab sequence.





Show Popup (O) A TRUE or FALSE value.

This property should not be set to TRUE on a button if there is underlying script that uses the application object method, GotoView.

If this property is set to TRUE and TheApplication.GotoView is used, this causes the view to be opened in a new browser window. The Siebel client UI does not support a Multiple Document Interface (MDI) architecture, so this combination is not supported.

TRUE — Specifies that a new browser window is opened before invoking the method.


Sort (O) ComboBox A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Automatically sorts strings entered into the control.

Tab Stop (O)(H) All A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — User can move to the next control specified by the Sequence property by using the TAB key.

Center, Left, and Right.

Text Style (O)(H) CheckBox, ComboBox, Group, Label, PushButton, and TextBox.

Specifies the text style to use when displaying this control. Text styles are defined in the Text Style object and specify the font information.

Text-Alignment Label (O)

Used to align the text of a control's label on form applets.


Example: On a grid-based form applet, a field and its label are two separate Applet Web Template Items that are based in the same control. With labels placed to the left of a field, this requires the label text to be aligned to the Right while the field text is Left aligned.

Tooltip Text (O)(H) Button Provides tooltip text that appears when the pointer lingers on a toolbar button.

Applies to bitmap buttons.

Top - Language Override (O)(H)


Top (O)(H) All Sets the top coordinate of this control in pixels. The top coordinate of the applet is 0.





Applet DesignerIn most cases, controls are created and modified using the Applet Designer.

Type (O)(H) All Sets the control type. Valid values are ChartControl, CheckBox, ComboBox, Group, Label, ListControl, PushButton, TextBox, and TreeControl.

FALSE — Pressing ENTER has the same effect as clicking the applet’s default pushbutton.

Width - Language Override (O)(H)


Width (O)(H) All The width of the control in pixels.

Valid values are numbers greater than or equal to 0. Default value is 40.




CaptionFor list applets, this value is used to create the sortable list header (rendered using the ListHeader property of the swe:control tag). This value can also be used as field prompts (rendered using the DisplayName property of the swe:control tag).

For controls that invoke methods, this value is used as the link name or button label (rendered using the FormattedHtml property of the swe:control tag).

HTML Display ModeThe valid values for this property are listed below:

■ EncodeData — If the field value contains characters that are HTML reserved ones (<>, &, and so on), they are encoded before showing it so that they appear correctly. This is the default.

■ DontEncodeData — Switches off EncodeData. Used only in special cases where the field value actually is a valid HTML text and wants to be shown as such. (This has nothing to do with any text that users enter in the template file.)

■ FormatData — Used when description or comment fields are in read-only layout. For example, for a service request description field, the user may enter data that uses new lines and tabs to format the text. If FormatData is not set to TRUE, when this is displayed in HTML these formats are lost. The whole text appears in one line. Setting FormatData = TRUE causes the data to be formatted in HTML so that it looks the same as when entered.

MethodInvokedThe following represents which events MethodInvoked property of Control invokes in HTML clients:

In the High Interactivity (HI) mode, a button with a MethodName property triggers the following chain:

1 Fires an InvokeMethod on the browser-side applet class (running in the HTML browser).

2 You can attach a PreInvokeMethod handler to this to intercept the method. You do this by adding a “Browser Script” on the applet, to handle the PreInvokeMethod event.

3 If the InvokeMethod on the browser-side applet class is not handled, it performs an InvokeMethod on the server-side applet class. The client-side applet class always calls the server-side applet with this method, unless there is a specialized client-side applet that is handling the method on the client side itself.

4 You can implement a WebApplet_PreInvokeMethod script in either Siebel VB or Siebel eScript to handle the method here.

5 If the InvokeMethod on the server-side applet class is not handled, it forwards it to the server-side business component for that applet.

6 You can implement a BusComp_PreInvokeMethod script in either Siebel VB or Siebel eScript to handle the method here.

7 If the InvokeMethod on the server-side business component class is not handled, an error is returned.

In the Standard Interactivity mode, only Step 4 through Step 7 apply.

Siebel Object Types ■ Drilldown Object

Properties


Business Component (O)

The business component that the user is drilling into (destination).

If this property is left blank, then the destination business component is the same as the source business component (although the view typically changes).

In a drilldown object, if the destination view should show the same active business components in the same context, and if you do not want to change the current query context, then do not specify a business component and do not specify the Source and Destination fields.

Destination Field (O) The field in the destination business component whose value equals the value of the source field in the source business component. If you do not specify a business component then do not specify the Destination field.

If no value is specified, then it defaults to Id, which is the row ID of the destination business component.

Hyperlink Field (O) The field in the business component for the applet on which the drilldown occurs. This also determines which list column in the list applet is blue and underlined.

If multiple drilldown objects for the applet are defined, a given field in the business component should be mentioned only once for all available drilldown objects. For a dynamic drilldown, the drilldown object that contains the dynamic drilldown destinations should have the Hyperlink Field property set.

Not required, but you should always enter a value—otherwise, no hyperlink appears for the user to drill down on.

Menu Text (O) Not used. Not applicable.

Name (R) The name of the drilldown object. Must be unique within the scope of the applet.

Sequence (O) An integer value that determines the order of the items in the right-click shortcut menu. Also, the first item is the one that is used if the user double-clicks the row to drill down rather than single-clicking underlined text.


Siebel Object Types ■ Drilldown Object Locale


Drilldown Object LocaleSiebel Object Types > Applet > Drilldown Object > Drilldown Object Locale

Represents language-specific overrides used with the Drilldown Object object type.

Source Field (O) The field in the applet’s business component (the source of the drilldown) whose value is applied as a search specification to the destination field in the destination business component (the business component that is specified by the Business Component property). Because the user is navigating from one view to another, there is a new active business component. The Source Field, Business Component, and Destination Field properties provide the linkage from a record in the source business component to an appropriate record or set of records in the destination business component.

If you do not specify a business component then do not specify the Source field.

If this property is left blank, then the behavior is to drill down to the same row in the destination business component. In other words, the application applies a bookmark of the current business component to the destination.

View (O) The view that appears when the user drills down.

If the View property is left blank, you must specify a value in the Business Component property.

If this property is left blank, the current view is maintained. This is used when drilling down from accounts into subaccounts, for example.

Visibility Type (O) A property that, when row ID-based drilldown is employed from an applet to a specific destination record, specifies a different visibility type (All, Sales Rep, Manager, or Personal) than the default visibility for the destination business component.

Generally a value of All is used if this feature is employed. This ensures that the destination record can be displayed.

Siebel Object Types ■ Dynamic Candidate Component (H)

See Also“Dynamic Candidate (H)” on page 163“Dynamic Candidate Component Col (H)” on page 166“Dynamic Candidate Locale (H)” on page 166

Primary Indicates where the join begins and is the primary table for the join. Typically, the primary is the table that the assignment object is stored in. For example, consider an account-contact-position dynamic candidate that has the S_ORG_EXT record marked as the primary. In this instance, Assignment Manager determines S_ORG_EXT is the first table in the join.

If primary is not indicated, then Target Column Name and Target Component Name properties are required.

Score Column The column in the Team table containing scores of the candidates.

Source Column Name (R) The column in the source table that relates to another dynamic candidate component.

Dynamic Drilldown DestinationSiebel Object Types > Applet > Drilldown Object > Dynamic Drilldown Destination

Configures dynamic drilldown behavior for a hyperlink field (and the corresponding list column or control).

Properties

Differences Between Static and Dynamic DrilldownsAs in a static drilldown configuration, the drilldown object definition identifies a hyperlink field and a view. These property settings continue to have the same purpose in dynamic drilldown, namely, to specify the list column or control that has hyperlink capabilities and the destination view when the hyperlink is clicked.

However, in dynamic drilldown, the drilldown object also has dynamic drilldown destination object definitions, each of which points to the type field in the business component and specifies a value to look for there. When the value in a dynamic drilldown destination is matched, the logic routes to a different drilldown object (typically with a different destination view).


Destination Drilldown Object (O)

The name of the drilldown object in the same applet that the hyperlink routes to when the field specified in the Field property matches the value specified in the Value property.

Field (O) The Type field in the business component of the applet, to be checked in the current record for the presence of a value that matches the setting in the Value property of the dynamic drilldown destination object definition. When the value matches, the hyperlink routes to the drilldown object specified in the Destination Drilldown Object property.

Name (R) Uniquely identifies each dynamic drilldown destination object definition within the parent drilldown object.

Sequence (O) Sets the search order for the children of one drilldown object, based on the integer values in this property from lowest to highest.

Value (O) The value to be matched in the Type field.

Siebel Object Types ■ Field


FieldSiebel Object Types > Business Component > Field

Identifies and defines a field in a business component. All fields making up a business component record contain entries from both Single Value Field and Multi Value Field object types.

You can add user properties to field objects.

Properties


Calculated (O) A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — The field’s value is calculated by the business component rather than retrieved from the database server.

Calculated Value (O) The expression used to calculate the field’s value if Calculated is TRUE.

Column (R+) The name of the database table’s column. References to the field are done through its name.

(+) This property is not used for calculated fields, fields of virtual business components, or MVFs, but is required for other fields.

The column name is case-sensitive and must be specified the same as it is in the database.

Currency Code Field (O) The name of the currency code field.

Used with a data type of DTYPE_CURRENCY.

The default field name is Currency Code.

Dest Field (O) If the Multi Valued property is TRUE, the field in the destination business component defined in the Multi Value Link field. If Multi Valued is FALSE, this property is ignored.

Exchange Date Field (O)

The name of the exchange date field; used with a data type of DTYPE_CURRENCY.

The default field name is Exchange Date.

Force Active (O) A TRUE or FALSE value.

For more information, read “Force Active” on page 183.

TRUE — The data value is always retrieved from the database.



Force Case (O) The case for the field value. Valid values are UPPER, LOWER, or FIRSTUPPER.

Hidden (O) A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Makes the field invisible to all dynamically created list views, such as those used in the forecasting module. This property is used to support specialized functionality and is not intended for general configuration.

For a business component data type of DTYPE_ID, the default is TRUE; otherwise, the default is FALSE.

Immediate Post Changes (O)


Field data is posted to the server when the focus moves off of the field and then the data is refreshed.

Causes an immediate roundtrip to the server. When set to True the browser script PreSetFieldValue event is bypassed. Typically used for constrained drop-down lists and calculated fields. Excessive use affects performance.

TRUE — Changes to field object definitions are posted as made.

Internal Pick Applet (O) Used by the workflow user interface.

For the Decision Point step, you can set conditions on the business component fields. If the business component field on the UI normally has an applet, you can set this business component field attribute to make the workflow UI use that applet when displaying conditions for the field.

Join (O) The name of the join object definition used by this field. Used to retrieve data from the table defined by a join.

Also refer to “Join” on page 212.

This property’s value corresponds to the join’s Name property.




Link Specification (O) A TRUE or FALSE value.

You must specify as TRUE if any business component used as the child of a link from this business component uses the Parent type of default values and expects to get a value.

TRUE — Specifies that the field’s value is passed as a default value to a field in the child business component.

Multi Value Link (O) If the Multi Valued property is TRUE, specifies the multi-value link for the field. If the field is not multi-valued, this property is ignored.

Multi Valued (O) A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — The field is multi-valued.

FALSE — The field is single-valued.

Name (R) The user-defined name for the field. All references to the field are done through its name.

Do not change the name of any Oracle-provided fields. Doing so can create upgrade problems and may affect intended behavior.

The name can contain spaces and must be unique within the business component.

No Copy (O) A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Specifies that during a Based On Last operation, the field’s value is not copied into the newly created record.

If No Copy is set to FALSE in fields from a joined table, ensure that No Copy in the join field (identified in the Source Field property in the join specification) is also set to FALSE. Otherwise, in the user’s Based On Last operation, the new record appears to copy the fields from the joined table, but when the record is required the fields are not populated.




Oracle Sequence Object (O)

The name of an Oracle sequence object. The sequence is used for field defaults when creating a new record.

The Oracle sequence object has to be created manually in the Oracle Database. This is an exception to the normal way the Oracle sequence object is configured.

Oracle sequence object is not supported in Siebel Remote Replication Environment.

PickList (O) The name of a picklist object definition used to display a list of valid values from which the user can choose.

Post Default Value (O) The value used for an empty field when the record is initially written to the database. This value is not used if the field is left empty on subsequent updates to the record. The post-default value for the field is used even when the field is not exposed in the user interface.

This property is not validated for a calculated field.

The Link Specification property needs to be set to TRUE on the Parent business component for the parent syntax to work in the child business component’s linked field.

Limited to 255 characters.




Pre Default Value (O) The value used for an empty field when a new record is created through an Add New Record or Copy Record operation. The value can be changed by the user before the record is written to the database. The pre-default value for the field is used even when the field is not exposed in the user interface.

NOTE: When predefault value expressions depend on other fields, those fields must be populated when the record is initialized. For example, Pre Default Value of Expr: Field '[Id]' works because the Row Id or Id field is always populated during record initialization. However, the Pre Default Value on Expr: Field: '[Picklist Field]' does not work because the Picklist Field is populated after the record is initialized.

This is true for Copy Record operation only if the NoCopy property is set to TRUE.



Precision (O) The maximum number of digits, to the left and right of the decimal point, for a numeric field.

The default is 16.

The maximum value available is database dependent.




Read Only (O) A TRUE or FALSE value.

In general, fields that are based on a joined table are always read-only. There are two exceptions to this rule—joins to extension tables and joins to active intersection tables.

Certain fields are read-only even if the Read Only property is FALSE. The Effective Start Date field for the following business components is always read-only:

■ Account Product

■ Promotion

■ Promotion Account

■ Promotion Account Product

■ Promotion Administration

■ Promotion Product

See also “Join” on page 212.

TRUE — Prevents the field value from being changed by the user.

Required (O) A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Requires a value to be entered into the field before the record can be written to the database.

Scale (O) The maximum number of digits to the right of the decimal point for a numeric field.

Valid values are 6 for numeric values or 0 for integers.


Text Length (O) The maximum length of the text in the field.

This property is usually ignored and the length retrieved from the underlying column definition.

Note: Text Length is not ignored if a Text field has a user property named Text Length Override.

Type (R) The field’s data type.

For more information, read “Field Data Types” on page 184.




Force ActiveDefault is FALSE. When Force Active is TRUE, the field is queried each time the business component is instantiated, even when the field is not exposed on the user interface. Force Active should only be set to TRUE when there is a need to script a field in the active business component and the field is not exposed on the active applet. Setting this property to TRUE may reduce performance.

For information about user properties, read Siebel Developer’s Reference. For information about virtual business components, read Siebel Developer’s Reference or Overview: Siebel Enterprise Application Integration.

Virtual Business ComponentsThe following properties of Field objects are supported in virtual business components:

■ Calculated

■ Calculated Value

■ Currency Code Field

■ Exchange Date Field

■ Force Case

■ Hidden

Use Default Sensitivity (O)


For fields of type DTYPE_ID, queries are case-sensitive if Use Default Sensitivity is TRUE and the CaseInsensitive setting in the CFG file is FALSE. Queries are case-insensitive for this data type if Use Default Sensitivity is TRUE and the CaseInsensitive setting is TRUE.

However, for Id fields not exposed in the business component (such as the ID field in Opportunity), the User Default Security property cannot be set.

TRUE — Causes the sensitivity mode that the application is running in (as defined in the data source) to be used in QBE searches that do not explicitly specify which sensitivity mode to use.

Validation (O) The expression used to ensure data correctness when data is entered. Also, the validation is evaluated only for the field for which it is added.

Should be used only with single value fields, not MVFs.

Field Data TypesSiebel Object Types > Business Component > Field

The Type property of a Field object type definition corresponds to the physical type of the column in the underlying table.

Notes:■ All values in the Type property have a prefix of DTYPE_.

■ Standard Siebel applications come with predefined data types, which you must use.

■ When mapping columns to a data type, make sure to use a similar type. For example, map an integer column to DTYPE_INTEGER. Do not map to incompatible types, such as mapping a Long column to DTYPE_BOOL.



The following table lists data types for the Field object type.

Field Type Definition

DTYPE_BOOL ■ Data stored as Y or N

■ Often displayed as TRUE/FALSE or checked/unchecked

■ Mapped to column with physical type/length of Character(1)

DTYPE_CURRENCY ■ Refers to data as currency

■ Mapped to column with physical type of Number

DTYPE_DATE ■ Refers to data as a date; ignores additional stored data such as time

■ Mapped to column with physical type of Date

DTYPE_DATETIME ■ Refers to date and time

■ Field must be mapped to column with physical type of DateTime

DTYPE_ID ■ Application-generated key

■ Mapped to column with physical type/length of Varchar(15)

DTYPE_INTEGER ■ Refers to data as an integer


DTYPE_NOTE ■ Refers to data as a long string

■ Mapped to column with physical type of Long

DTYPE_NUMBER ■ Refers to the data as a number


DTYPE_PHONE ■ Refers to data as a phone number

■ Mapped to column with physical type/length of Varchar(40)

DTYPE_TEXT ■ Refers to the data as a string of length 2000 or less

■ Defaults to mixed-case as entered by the user

■ The ForceCase property on a Field can be used to force text to Upper, Lower, or FirstUpper

■ Mapped to column with physical type of Varchar

DTYPE_TIME ■ Refers to the data as a time

■ Additional stored information such as date is ignored

■ Mapped to column with physical type of Time

Siebel Object Types ■ Find Field

Find FieldSiebel Object Types > Find > Find Field

Adds a search field to the dynamically generated Find dialog box.

Properties

Field RestrictionThe field specified in a find field must be a field that exists in the business component for the applet for the find object definition.

Query DifferencesThe Find dialog box and a query by example (QBE) can have different behavior for multi-value fields because the Find dialog box generates the same query as if you did an EXISTS query on the field in QBE. You can verify this by embedding your QBE expression with Exists (); for example, Exists (“Aga*”).


Display Name (O) The text (or key to localized text) that displays for this find field when its parent Find object definition is active in the Find dialog box.

Drilldown Business Component

Information not available.

Sequence (O) The position of this find field in the list of fields displayed in the Find dialog box for the parent find object definition.

Integer value.

Title (O) Reserved for future use. Not applicable.


Siebel Object Types ■ Find Field Locale

QBE supports both types of querying, but to keep the Find dialog box simple, Siebel applications implement a query that works in all cases. If you want to mimic the behavior of the non-Exists version with the Find dialog box, create a join from the primary ID field for the MVLink to the table containing the data. Then add a field on the table you joined to and point your find field to this new field.

Siebel Object Types ■ Find Pick View

Properties

See Also“Find” on page 187

Find Pick ViewSiebel Object Types > Find > Find Pick View

Identifies the applet in the Pick View that can receive selected items from the Find results list.

Properties

Find results can be associated to an applet as long as there is a relationship between the applet and its parent, and the search result and the Pick Applet use the same business components. In Siebel Tools, this relationship is implemented by creating a link between the two Business Components with an intersection table.

An example of the Pick View and Pick Applet for the Find category Opportunities would be View: Contact Detail—Opportunities View and Applet: Opportunity List Applet—Basic. An Opportunity Find result can be attached to the Opportunity List Applet—Basic, as long as there is a many-to-many relationship between the parent Contact applet and the child applet, which is Opportunity List Applet—Basic.



Display Name (O)

A display name for the Find object for a specific language.


Example: ENU.


Applet Name (O) Specifies the name of an applet in the view that has an associated applet that allows users to associate child records to the parent.

Field Name (O) Specifies the MVG field. (Not supported in Siebel 7.)

View Name (O) Specifies the name of the view.


Siebel Object Types ■ Find View

Find ViewSiebel Object Types > Find > Find View

Specifies the view that is presented when performing a find operation with the Find dialog box.

Properties

Visibility ConsiderationsFor a given user, the find operation uses the first find view object definition that is in the user’s responsibility list. Because different views apply different visibility, you would want to have the least restrictive views first in the list and the most restrictive last. This order enables users with different responsibilities to find items using the most broad visibility that they are allowed to use.

See Also“Find” on page 187“Find Field” on page 188

Foreign Key MappingSiebel Object Types > EIM Interface Table > EIM Table Mapping > Foreign Key Mapping

Each Foreign Key Mapping object definition identifies a foreign key column in the destination table that is to be populated from the interface table.

Siebel Object Types ■ Help Id

See Also“EIM Interface Table” on page 168“EIM Table Mapping” on page 172“Foreign Key Mapping” on page 191

Help IdSiebel Object Types > Help Id

Specifies the HTML file name that contains the help topics for a screen in a Siebel application.

A Help Id object definition may be referenced by entering its name as the property text in the Help Identifier property of a view or screen object definition. The Help Id object definition, in turn, references a help topic file (HTML format) associated with the application through the HTML Help URL property.

When the user chooses Help > Contents from the application-level menu to invoke context-sensitive online help, the application calls the Siebel Web Engine (SWE) GotoPage method, which uses SWE code to display the correct help topic in a separate browser window.

Siebel Object Types ■ Join

JoinSiebel Object Types > Business Component > Join

Defines the logical join between a business component’s base table and another table.

Properties

SQL RestrictionsRefer to an SQL language reference manual for a complete explanation of and a list of restrictions on left, self, and simple joins.

Left Outer JoinsIn defining a left outer join, the outer join is applied to the table defined by the join’s Table property. Brings values back even if no values are returned for the join.

Fields on Joined TablesImplicitly joined fields (unlike their explicit counterparts) can be updated.

Name (S) Name of the user key.

User Key Name (S) Name of the user key.


Name (R) The name of the join object definition. This defaults to the table specified in the Table property. If there are two joins to the same table, then you need to change the name of one of them.

Outer Join Flag (O)

A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Indicates a left outer join.

FALSE — Indicates an inner join.

Table (R) The name of an SQL table. The name is case sensitive and must be specified the same as it is in the Siebel database.



Siebel Object Types ■ Join Constraint

See Also“Business Component” on page 91“Join Specification” on page 213

Join ConstraintSiebel Object Types > Business Component > Join > Join Constraint

A join constraint is a constant-valued search specification applied to a column during a join. It is for use with outer joins.

Properties

See Also“Join” on page 212

Join SpecificationSiebel Object Types > Business Component > Join > Join Specification

Specifies the columns to join from the tables on the left and right sides of the join.


Destination Column (O)

Column of the destination table to apply the constraint to.

Example: LANG_CD.

Name (R) Name of the join constraint.

Value (O) A non-null constant value or constant function, such as LoginId(), PostionId(), and DivisionId().

GetProfileAttr can be used, but be aware that profile attributes can be persistent or dynamic. If dynamic, this property must contain a value before the join fires. If the property does not contain a value, then GetProfileAttr returns a null and the join fails.

Example: Language().


Siebel Object Types ■ Join Specification

Properties

Join Specification NamingThe Name property of this object type requires some special consideration. By default, the name of a join specification is the name of the source field specified for the object definition. You should not change this value unless you have two join specification object definitions for the same join that use the same source field. Although this name is not referenced anywhere else in the repository, it is used for the merge/upgrade utility to determine matching entries.

See Also“Business Component” on page 91“Join” on page 212


Destination Column (O+)

The name of the column in the destination table on which the join is performed. The name is case-sensitive and must be specified the same as it is in the database.

(+) This property is required if the join occurs on a column other than ROW_ID.

Name (R) The name of the join specification object definition, which must be unique within the join. The name defaults to the Source Field value for the join specification.

For more information, read “Join Specification Naming” on page 214.

Source Field (O+) The name of a field (in the parent business component of the join object definition) that the destination table is joined on. The Source Field property must point to a field that represents a database column.

A computed field is an example of a field not based on a database column, and is therefore not suitable as a source field for a join specification.

The field has to be a foreign key with respect to Destination Column.

(+)This is required if the join occurs on a field other than ID.


Siebel Object Types ■ Link

LinkSiebel Object Types > Link

Specifies the relationship between two business components. The relationship can be one-to-many (1:M), such as parent/child, or many-to-many (M:M).



Properties


Cascade Delete (O) Indicates what action to perform on detail business component records of the link if the master is deleted.

Do not set to DELETE if the child business component in this link is also a child business component in another link. In this case, use CLEAR instead.

Also for DELETE, you have to check to see if the Table referenced by the child business component is used by another business component that is the child business component in another link.

For example, assume you have two links: Contact/Action and Contact/Activity Plan. Action and Activity Plan are based on the same table. You have to make sure the setting of Cascade Delete is Clear for both links.

Cascade Delete must be set to NONE for many-to-many links. With a many-to-many link, Siebel applications delete the intersection record but leave the child record intact as it may have many other parents.

When you delete a record that is pointed to by foreign keys of other tables, the references to it may or may not be deleted. If those references are not deleted, the user is left with row IDs that point to nonexistent records. In the case of multi-value groups, sometimes these foreign keys are converted to “No Match Row Id”.

In other words, if multiple links exist that refer to the same tables, you must make sure that the Cascade Delete property is consistent among all of those links.

Valid values:

CLEAR — The foreign key reference is removed.

DELETE — The child records are deleted.

NONE — No operations are performed on the child record.

Child Business Component (R)

The name of the business component whose data is determined by the business component defined by the Parent Business Component property.



Destination Field (R+)

The name of a child business component’s field that is used to logically join to the parent business component.

(+) Required for 1:M links.

Inter Child Column (R+)

The name of the column of the database intersection table that links the intersection table to the child business component. The name is case-sensitive and must be specified the same as it is in the database.

(+) Required for M:M links.

Inter Child Delete (O)

A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Deletes both the association and the child record when deleted through the child record’s applet.

FALSE — Only the child record’s association is deleted. Specified in M:M links only.

Inter Parent Column (R+)

The name of the column of the database intersection table that links the intersection table to the parent business component. The name is case-sensitive and must be specified the same as it is in the database.


Inter Table (R+) The name of the database intersection table. The name is case-sensitive and must be specified the same as it is in the database.


Name (R) A name for the link. The name can contain spaces and must be unique among links. All references to the link are done through its name.

In general, this property is internally managed and should not be changed unless necessary.




No Associate (O) A TRUE or FALSE value.

If TRUE, the association applet is prevented from appearing when creating a New record for the child in a M:M relationship. Accordingly, the user is forced to enter a new record and is not given the option of associating an existing one.

Specified for M:M links only.

TRUE — Specifies that no new associations can be created through the link. New detail records may be added.

This property is ignored if the current view is in Admin Mode.

No Delete (O) A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Prevents deletion of child records through the link.

No Insert (O) A TRUE or FALSE value.

Specified for 1:M links only.

See also the No Associate property for this object type.

TRUE — Prevents creation of child records through the link.

No Inter Delete (O) A TRUE or FALSE value.

Applies only to M:M relationships.

TRUE — Associated intersection table records are never deleted.

FALSE (default) — Deletes the associated intersection table records when either a parent or a child record is deleted.

No Update (O) A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Updating is not allowed.

Parent Business Component (R)

The name of the business component whose data determines what records, if any, are retrieved by the child business component (defined by the Child Business Component property).

Primary Id Field (O) Specifies the name of the field in the master business component that holds the row ID values pointing to primary records in the detail business component.

Search Specification (O)

A conditional expression used to restrict the records retrieved. Applied to the child business component when the link is active.




Sort Spec (O) A sorting expression used in an association list to order the detail records retrieved.

Specified for M:M links only.

Source Field (O) The name of a parent business component’s field that is used to link to the child business component. The source field is a unique identifier for rows in the parent business component. Typically it is the field that maps to the ROW_ID column in the parent business component's base table and that has the name Id.

This is not a field that appears in the list of fields in the Object List Editor for the business component. The Id field appears only in drop-down lists for properties such as Source Field in object types like Link. The default value for Source Field is Id, which means that a blank value for this property is the same as selecting Id.

Visibility Auto All (O)

A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — If the user has access to any “All” views, then visibility for child business component is All; otherwise visibility is determined by the Visibility Type property.



Siebel Object Types ■ List

NamingWhen naming a link, the Siebel application convention is to use the parent business component and child business component names separated by a slash (/).

Calendar Business ComponentThe Calendar business component should not be used as the master or detail business component in a link.

ListSiebel Object Types > Applet > List

Holds some information specific to list applets. For a list applet, there must be one and only one list object definition. If the applet is not a list applet, there should be no list object definitions.

Visibility Rule Applied (O)

A value that indicates how visibility rules should be applied when in a view using this link. Visibility settings in a view apply to the applet specified in the Visibility Applet property. If there is a master-detail relationship between this applet and an applet displaying detail records, then use the Visibility Rule Applied property to allow users to see detail records that they would not see because of visibility rules. Users are not allowed to drill down to see the complete records.

Valid values are:

■ Always — Allows visibility rules in the detail records when the current master-detail view is based on this link, even though the view does not have active visibility settings in the Visibility Applet and Visibility Applet Type properties.

■ Never — Disables visibility rules in the detail records when the current view is based on this link.

Visibility Type (O) Determines the visibility type when the business component appears as a child in the given link.

For more information, read “Visibility Auto All (O)” on page 219.

Properties


Auto Primary (O) A setting that determines how row ID values are populated in the primary ID field, based on a Siebel application-supplied list column labeled Primary in the multi-value group applet. The user can manually select the primary. Auto Primary determines how, if at all, the primary selection is defaulted.

DEFAULT — The first record automatically becomes the primary.

NONE. — The user must manually specify the primary.

SELECTED — Selection of a primary on one MVL causes the selection of a primary on the others. For example, as soon as a primary Shipping Address is indicated, it also becomes the primary Billing Address. This behavior is also true when the primary is not set. It is not true if the primaries already have values. SELECTED applies only when there are several multi-value links pointing to the same detail business component.

Check No Match (O) A TRUE or FALSE value.

In the parent Business Component, the foreign key field can house a value of No Match.

TRUE — If the application finds a No Match field, it should execute a separate query anyway. If the Auto Primary property is set to Default, it sets the first record returned as the primary. If the Auto Primary property is set to SELECTED, it ascertains whether any other multi-value link to this business component has indicated a primary, and set that record as the primary of this multi-value link.

FALSE — The application should not execute a

Destination Business Component (R)

The name of the child business component.

Destination Link (R) The name of the link to use.

No Associate (O) A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Specifies that no associations can be created through the link. New detail records may be added.

This property is ignored if the current view is in Admin Mode.

No Copy (O) A TRUE or FALSE value.

When FALSE, the copy operation on the child business component has the potential to fail due to unique indexes violations.

In addition, the No Copy property only copies directly related multi-value group records. A multi-value link on a child business component with the No Copy property set to FALSE is ignored, and grandchild records are not copied using the Deep Copy feature.

FALSE — Specifies that child records through this link are copied.

No Delete (O) A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Prevents deletion.

No Insert (O) A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Prevents inserts.

No Update (O) A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Prevents updates.

Popup Update Only (O) A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Requires that the multi-value group window be popped up for any of the MVG values to be updated.

Type Value (O) The data value to use in filtering a subset of records. This value is used in conjunction with the Type Field property, which identifies the field to use.




Use Primary Join (O) A TRUE or FALSE value.

Do not set both the Cache Data property of the Business Component object, and the Use Primary Join property of the Multi Value Link object type, to TRUE. (For more information, consult the Cache Data property of the Business Component object type.)

TRUE — Executes a primary join using the Primary Id Field property value to retrieve the primary child’s data. The user must explicitly type EXISTS in queries to retrieve a non-primary MVF value.

FALSE — The second query that retrieves all child records is executed. The user does not need to type EXISTS. In this case, the Siebel application generates an EXISTS query automatically.

Name (R) The user-defined name for the field. The name must be unique within the business component. All references to the field are made through its name.


No Copy (O) A TRUE or FALSE value that, if TRUE, specifies that during a Based On Last operation, the field's value is not copied into the newly created record.

Also note that field value is not copied if Field’s Multi Value Link object specifies No Copy as TRUE or corresponding Source Field object specifies No Copy as TRUE.

TRUE — Specifies that during a Based On Last operation, the field’s value is not copied into the newly created record.


Read Only (O) A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Prevents the field value from being changed by the user.

Constrain (O) A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Defines the pick map as a constraint pick map.

FALSE — Defines the pick map as a copy pick map.

Field (R) The field in the parent business component with which the pick map is associated.

No Clear (O) A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Causes the field specified in the pick map not to be set to NULL when no value is picked from the drop-down list.

FALSE — Clears the pick mapped field.

However, the pick mapped field is not cleared when the drop-down list is unbounded.

Pick List Field (O)

The field in the picklist business component with which the pick map is associated.



Siebel Object Types ■ MVF Pick Map UpdOnlyIfNull

Copy and Constraint Pick MapsThere are two kinds of pick maps: copy pick maps and constraint pick maps. The type of pick map is determined by the value in the Constrain property. If a pick map is a copy pick map, then the value of the field in the picklist business component specified by the Pick List Field property is copied into the field of the parent business component specified by the Field property. If the pick map is a constraint pick map, then the value from the field in the parent business component specified by field is applied as a search specification on the field in the picklist business component specified by Pick List Field.

Constraining Pick Maps on Multi-Value FieldsYou cannot use a field in the parent business component to constrain a picklist on a multi-value field. You can use only multi-value fields that are part of the detail business component.

See Also“Business Component” on page 91“Field” on page 177“Multi Value Field” on page 234“Pick List” on page 244“Pick Map” on page 247“Pick Map UpdOnlyIfNull” on page 248“SVF Pick Map” on page 287

MVF Pick Map UpdOnlyIfNullSiebel Object Types > Business Component > Multi Value Field > MVF Pick Map > MVF Pick Map UpdOnlyIfNull

Marks a copy pick map (read “Pick Map” on page 247) to perform only the copy operation if the field specified in the pick map UpdOnlyIfNull is not null. Constrain pick maps are also copy pick maps. In cases where the constraint is active, this results in no operation (no-op). In cases where the UpdOnlyIfNull causes the constraint to be ignored, the copy operation works. To avoid the copy operation use a calculated field as the field for the constrain pick map.

Properties


Field (R) The field in the parent business component to check for a NULL value before performing the copy operation specified by the parent pick map.

Properties


Name (R) The abbreviation for the language being used by the application.

Example: ENU.

Text (O) The text (or key to localized text) displayed on the page tab


Alpha Template (O) The template used to generate default text for paging alphanumeric pagers. It can contain placeholders for the fields in the business components that are substituted with real values at run time.

The template is stored in the MSGTEMPL\<language> (for example, msgtempl\enu) directory of the Siebel application directory.

The name of any template file available in the user's MSGTEMPL\<language> directory.


The business component that owns the paging-related properties.

Any buscomp that contains references to employees or pager-related fields.

Employee Field (O) The field in the business component containing the login name of the employee to be paged. This login name is looked up in the Employee business component for the default phone number and pager ID to use.

The template is stored in the MSGTEMPL\<language> (for example, msgtempl\enu) directory of the Siebel application directory.

The name of any template file available in the user's MSGTEMPL\<language> directory.

Phone Field (O) The field in the business component that contains the computer paging phone number to use.

The computer paging phone number is different from the personal phone number assigned to some pagers. It is also different from the phone number that can be dialed to page with a touch-tone phone. Usually there is only one computer paging phone number available for each pager company. This number must support the TAPI protocol used in computer paging.

A field that contains the computer paging phone number.

PIN Field (O) The field in the business component that contains the PIN number (or pager ID) of the pager to page. This is usually a six- or seven-digit number used to identify a pager.

A field that contains the pager PIN number.


Bounded (O) A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Requires any value entered into a field bounded by the drop-down list to be among the drop-down list’s values.


The name of the business component whose data makes up the list of valid values.




Long List (O) A TRUE or FALSE value that specifies whether the Siebel application should attempt to position the cursor on the current value in a long list of values.

When you specify Long List = TRUE for a picklist list, the Siebel application does not keep focus on the current record.

A value of TRUE means that the picklist returns a large set of values, so to scroll through that list of values and position the cursor on the current value in the field could be very costly from a performance standpoint. For this reason, Long List does not keep focus.

TRUE — Recommendation is to set this attribute to TRUE if pick list is expected to contain more than 500 records.

A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Prevents the user from changing an existing picklist value.


The name of the search specification to use in addition to the business component’s usual search specification.


The sort to apply for the picklist instead of the sort specification defined for the business component.

Unlike the search specification, this does replace the business component sort specification.




Source and Destination FieldsYou do not specify source and destination field information here. This is done through pick map object definitions on specific fields.

See Also“Pick Map” on page 247“Pick Map UpdOnlyIfNull” on page 248

Static (O) A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — The pick list values come from a predefined list of values. These pick lists are called Static pick lists and they typically use PickList Generic and PickList Hierarchical business components. These business components display data entered by the administrator in the List of Values Administration Views. Static pick lists are rendered as drop-down menus in the interface. For more information, read “Hierarchical PickLists” in Siebel Developer’s Reference.

FALSE — The pick list values come from the business component specified in the Business Component property. These pick lists are called dynamic pick lists.

Type Field (O)

The name of a picklist business component’s field to use in retrieving a subset of records. This field name is used in conjunction with the Type Value property, which is used to identify the data value to use.

Type Value (O)

The data value to use in retrieving a subset of records. This value is used in conjunction with the Type Field property.

Visibility Auto All (O)

A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — If user has access to any “All” views, then visibility for a pick list business component is All; otherwise visibility is determined by the Visibility Type property.

Visibility Type (O)

Determines the visibility type when the business component is used as a pick list. For more information, see Visibility Auto All.

Valid values are All, Catalog, Group, Manager, Organization, Personal, Sales Rep, and Sub-Organization.



Siebel Object Types ■ Pick Map

Pick MapSiebel Object Types > Business Component > Field > Pick Map

Specifies instructions for copying fields when a picklist is used by a field.

Properties

Copy and Constraint Pick MapsThere are two kinds of pick maps: copy pick maps and constraint pick maps. The type of pick map is determined by the value in the Constrain property. If a pick map is a copy pick map, then the value of the field in the picklist business component specified by the Pick List Field property is copied into the field of the parent business component specified by the Field property. If the pick map is a constraint pick map, then the value from the field in the parent business component specified by the Field property is applied as a search specification on the field in the picklist business component specified by the Pick List Field property.

Constraining Picklists on Multi-Value FieldsYou cannot use a field in the parent business component to constrain a picklist on a multi-value field. You can use only multi-value fields that are part of the detail business component.




Field (R) The field in the parent business component that is connected to the pick map.

No Clear (O) A TRUE or FALSE value indicating how to set the Field property if no value is selected from the picklist.

FALSE — The Field property is set to NULL.

TRUE — The Field property is not set to NULL.

Pick List Field (O)

The field in the picklist business component that is connected to the pick map.

Sequence (O) Integer value that specifies the order in which the field values are copied back to the business component after a particular row has been picked.

Note that Siebel applications do not always use the Sequence property of Pick Map. Pick List Source Id always gets set first, overriding Sequence in the Pick Map.


Siebel Object Types ■ Pick Map UpdOnlyIfNull

See Also“Business Component” on page 91“Field” on page 177“MVF Pick Map” on page 240“Pick List” on page 244“Pick Map UpdOnlyIfNull” on page 248“SVF Pick Map” on page 287

Pick Map UpdOnlyIfNullSiebel Object Types > Business Component > Field > Pick Map > Pick Map UpdOnlyIfNull

UpdOnlyIfNull for a Copy PickmapMarks a copy pick map to perform the copy operation only if the values of the fields specified in the pick map UpdOnlyIfNull are null. For more information, read “Pick Map” on page 247.

UpdOnlyIfNull for a Constraint PickmapActs as a copy pickmap if the value of the constraining field is null and the values of the fields specified in the constraint pick UpdOnlyIfNull are null. To disable the constraint when the constraining field value is null, use a calculated field as the field for the constraint pickmap.

Properties

Constrain ByEach pick map object definition has a child object definition of type Pick Map UpdOnlyIfNull. If you add one of these child object definitions to whichever pick map constrains the picklist, then Siebel applications ignore the constraint if the constraining value is NULL. You might still have a non-NULL picklist field that still returns no records, but this prevents you from seeing no records when the picklist field is NULL.


Field (R) The field in the parent business component to check for the null condition before performing the copy operation specified by the parent pick map.

Properties

Object Definitions and ProjectsEvery object definition in the repository (except for repositories and projects) needs to belong to a project. If an object definition has a parent (for example, a field of a business component), then the child belongs to the same project as its parent. You should group object definitions that tend to be modified together into the same project.


Allow Object Locking

Provides the ability to lock granular objects such as an applet or a business component.

Language Locked (S)

If Locked is TRUE, records the language in which this project was locked. A project is always locked in a single language, which is the language Siebel Tools was in when the project was first locked.

Example: ENU, JPN, DEU.

Locked (O) A TRUE or FALSE value that displays the lock status of the project.

TRUE — The project is currently locked.

Locked By Name (O)

If Locked is TRUE, displays the name of the person who has the project locked for editing. Otherwise, it is empty.

Locked Date (O) If Locked is TRUE, displays the date and time when the project was locked for editing. Otherwise, it is empty.

Name (R) Specifies the name uniquely.

Siebel Object Types ■ Report

ReportSiebel Object Types > Report

Defines a paper or electronic representation of the information displayed by Siebel applications. The user cannot update the report’s data.

The use of certain properties depends on whether the report is static or dynamic. Dynamic reports are tied to one or more specific views and are available only when the views are active; a dynamic report’s data may also be global (that is, all data is reported on) or specific to the current record of the active view. Static reports are always available, even when there is no active view. Unlike the data in dynamic reports, however, a static report’s data is only global.

Properties


Access Base DB Name (O)

For Actuate reports, the name of the executable file (less the ROX extension) that Siebel applications run when this report is selected. Siebel applications look in the Siebel_client_root\reports\language_code directory.

For Access reports, the base Access database file that contains the Access report’s report object definition. The default is base.mdb and is located in the Siebel_client_root\reports directory.


The name of the business component whose data is the basis for the report.

Business Object (R) This property applies to static reports only.

The name of the business component’s business object.

Class (R) The class of the report. Valid values are:

CSSActuateReportViewer for an Actuate report.

CSSCrystalReport and CSSWECrystalReport for a Crystal Reports report.

CSSAccessReport and CSSReport are not supported.



Client Only (O) A TRUE or FALSE value.

A Client Only report cannot be scheduled to run at a later time, and cannot be run from a thin client.

TRUE — Specifies that the report cannot be run on the reports server.

Command Line (O) A job to execute after exporting report data. Use only if the Class property value is CSSReport.

Examples:

C:\MSOFF95\EXCEL\EXCEL.EXE

C:\SIEBEL\REPORTS\OPPORTUN.CSV

Current Record Only (O)

This property applies to dynamic reports only.


TRUE — Causes the business component to export/report only on the current record.

Dynamic View (O) This property applies to dynamic reports only.


Indicates if the report inherits search criteria, sort criteria, and visibility from the view.

TRUE — The report is dynamic based on the view and queries run on that view. For example, Dynamic View is TRUE and the report is based on an Account business object. The user runs a query for accounts that begin with the letter T. If the user runs this report, it shows only accounts beginning with T.

Export System Fields (O)


If system fields are not required in your report, you should set this to FALSE.

TRUE — Exports the ID, Created, Created By, Updated, and Updated By fields. If FALSE, only the ID field is exported for the report.

Exported Table (R) The name of the table to which the data is exported.

Applicable only to CSSReport classes.




Help Identifier (O) A topic name for context-sensitive help. The name is a constant character string, all uppercase, with no blanks.

Example: ID_REPORT_OPPORTUNITY

_LIST

Menu Text (R) The submenu command text displayed under the menu command defined by the report category to which this report is assigned.

Name (R) The name of the report.

ODBC Source Name (O)

The ODBC data source name for exporting report data.

The default ODBC source names are specified in the CFG file.

Parameter Applet (O) Used to specify the name of an applet that is shown as the report parameters applet at run-time. Also determines if a report is parameterized or not: for example, if this is not empty, the specified applet is shown.

Patch Field Names (O)

A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Causes a multiword field name to be patched into a single-word field name by replacing characters such as spaces, octothorpes (#), and slash marks (/) with underscores (_). It also appends _X to the end of the field name, and converts the resulting name to uppercase letters.

Preview (O) Reserved for future use. Not applicable.





This property applies to static reports only.

The conditional expression used to retrieve a subset of records.

Using the Search Specification property on a dynamic report makes the report lose this behavior and ignore any predefined queries used on the current view.


This property applies to static reports only.

The sort expression used to order the records returned.

You can set a sort specification on a report object definition to send the rows to the Actuate report driver via the data stream in sorted order. Otherwise the rows are sent in an unsorted, or default, sort order. Ordering the data coming from Siebel applications improves performance when the report runs and possibly is required to make the report work.

Status Text (O) Not currently used.



Siebel Object Types ■ Report Field

Parameter AppletThis is the second step (using Siebel Tools) in creating a parameterized report. (The first step would be creating the parameter applet itself.) Next, the report design files need to be modified, to create parameter variables that correspond to the parameter applet’s fields. This results in the parameter values chosen by the user at run time being written out to the ROV file in Actuate for the report to pick up during execution.

See Also“Report Field” on page 254

Validation (O) The expression used to ensure data correctness when data is entered.

Should be used only with single value fields, not MVFs.




Siebel Object Types ■ Sub Report

Properties



The name of the business component whose data is the basis for the subreport. This business component is linked to the business component of the previous subreport declaration (if any) or the top-level report declaration.

The business component must be declared as the Child business component to the business component specified in the report object. Typically the report object business component is synonymous with a specific business object and the business components that are available to subreport are business components that exist within the business object with a valid link declared. Reports are similar to views in that if the relationship from the subreport to the parent report cannot be configured into a view, then the subreport cannot be used.

Exported Table (R) (CSSReport and CSSCrystalReport classes only.) The filename or the table that the subreport data is exported to.

Inter Table (O) The name of the intersection table to use when there is a many-to-many relationship between this business component and the parent business component.

Inter Table Name (O)

(CSSReport and CSSCrystalReport classes only.) The name of the table or the filename that the subreport intersection table data is exported to.

When naming the intersection table, the convention is to use the parent and child business component separated by a slash mark (/).

Position (O) The ordinal position of the subreport.

The first-level positions are 1, 2, 3, 4, and so on. The next level identifies the corresponding parent of the subreport; if Position is 1, then all successive subreport positions would be 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and so on.


An additional search expression that can be applied to the subreport’s business component.


An additional sort specification that can be applied to the subreport’s business component.


Siebel Object Types ■ Sub Report Field

Ordinal PositionThe parent-child relationship between subreports is based on the ordinal position of the subreport’s declaration. The report object is the first position in the ordinal, so it is 1. Subreports are one level deeper, so they get their own unique ordinal. For example, if you have three subreports, then they are numbered 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3. Subreports where the business component is a child are assigned successive whole-digit ordinals (2, 3, and so on). Subreports to these are assigned ordinals such as 2.1, 2.2, and so on.

See Also“Business Component” on page 91“Report” on page 250

Sub Report FieldSiebel Object Types > Report > Sub Report > Sub Report Field

Defines the field to be exported to or otherwise made available in the subreport.

Properties

Business Component RestrictionA subreport field is linked to a parent subreport. These fields must be defined in the business component of the parent subreport. If no field is specified for a subreport, then an error occurs when creating the Actuate library.

See Also“Report” on page 250“Sub Report” on page 285

SVF Pick MapSiebel Object Types > Business Component > Single Value Field > SVF Pick Map

Specifies instructions for copying fields when a picklist is used by a field.


Field (R) The name of the field to be exported for the subreport.

Name (R) The subreport’s name.


Siebel Object Types ■ SVF Pick Map UpdOnlyIfNull

Properties

Copy and Constraint Pick MapsThere are two kinds of pick maps: copy pick maps and constraint pick maps. The type of pick map is determined by the value in the Constrain property. If a pick map is a copy pick map, then the value of the field in the picklist business component specified by the Pick List Field property is copied into the field of the parent business component specified by the Field property. If the pick map is a constraint pick map, then the value from the field in the parent business component specified by the Field property is applied as a search specification on the field in the picklist business component specified by the Pick List Field property.

See Also“Business Component” on page 91“Field” on page 177“MVF Pick Map” on page 240“Pick List” on page 244“Pick Map” on page 247“Single Value Field” on page 281“SVF Pick Map UpdOnlyIfNull” on page 288

SVF Pick Map UpdOnlyIfNullSiebel Object Types > Business Component > Single Value Field > SVF Pick Map > SVF Pick Map UpdOnlyIfNull




Field (R) The field in the parent business component that is connected to the pick map.

No Clear (O) A TRUE or FALSE value indicating how to set the Field property if no value is selected from the picklist.

FALSE — The Field property is set to NULL.

TRUE — The Field property is not set to NULL.

Pick List Field (O)

The field in the picklist business component that is connected to the pick map.


Siebel Object Types ■ Symbolic String (H)

Marks a copy pick map (read “SVF Pick Map” on page 287) to perform the copy operation only if the field specified in the SVF pick map UpdOnlyIfNull is not null. Constrain pick maps are also copy pick maps. In cases where the constraint is active, this results in no operation (no-op). In cases where the UpdOnlyIfNull causes the constraint to be ignored, the copy operation works. To avoid the copy operation use a calculated field as the field for the constrain pick map.

Properties

See Also“Business Component” on page 91“MVF Pick Map UpdOnlyIfNull” on page 241“Pick List” on page 244“Pick Map” on page 247“Pick Map UpdOnlyIfNull” on page 248“Single Value Field” on page 281“SVF Pick Map” on page 287

Symbolic String (H)Siebel Object Types > Symbolic String

Encapsulates a piece of text that can appear anywhere on the Siebel user interface. Any Siebel Object that has a translatable string property (such as the caption of a Control object) can obtain a desired string display value by establishing a reference to the appropriate Symbolic String object through its “String Reference” property (for example, “Caption - String Reference”). The actual string content for a Symbolic String is stored in one or more child Symbolic String Locale objects, each of which represents the value of the string in a different language. For example, the Symbolic String named ‘SBL_ACCOUNTS-0910145428-0HN’ might have two Symbolic String Locale children, one containing the display value for English (‘Account’) and one for German (‘Kunde’).


Field (R) The field in the parent business component to check for the null condition before performing the copy operation specified by the parent pick map.


Siebel Object Types ■ Symbolic String (H)

Properties

See Also“Symbolic String Locale” on page 291


Approved (O) For Oracle use only.

Current String Value

Calculated field indicating what the actual display value exposed to the UI would be if a compile were performed using the active Siebel Tools language mode and the corresponding compiled SRF file used.

The calculated value displayed in this field is the ‘String Value’ attribute of the corresponding Symbolic String Locale child object instance for the active Siebel Tools language mode. For example, if the selected Symbolic String is ‘SBL_ACCOUNTS-0910145428-0HN’ and the Tools language mode is set to German, then ‘Kunde’ (and not ‘Accounts’) is displayed in this field in Tools. Switching the Tools language mode to English changes the calculated value to ‘Accounts’.

Although this property is a calculated field, it is editable. Modifying this value modifies the String Value property of the Symbolic String Locale whose language corresponds to the active Tools language mode.

TreeSiebel Object Types > Applet > Tree

Defines a tree control in a tree applet. The tree control causes the applet to be a tree applet. A tree applet is used in Siebel applications to create a view where users can navigate hierarchically through a structured list of records. An example of a tree applet is found in the explorer view in the Service Requests screen. The tree object definition basically just provides a name; it is an object definition to which tree nodes can be attached and that itself can be attached to the applet object definition.

Properties

See Also“Applet” on page 29“Tree Node” on page 319“View” on page 325


Display Name (O)

Text name displayed on a button on the toolbar.



Example: ENU.


HTML Hierarchy Bitmap (O)

Specify the name of the HTML Hierarchy Bitmap object to use for displaying icons on the tree.

Name (S) Name of the tree object definition.

The name is always Tree.


Siebel Object Types ■ Tree Node

Tree NodeSiebel Object Types > Applet > Tree > Tree Node

Corresponds to one folder that the user sees in a tree applet. It has a label and an applet. The label determines the source of the text displayed next to the folder. The applet specifies the name of the applet that is displayed in the right half of the view when the user opens the folder. The tree node also has a position identifier, which is a set of integers separated by periods, such as 1.1.2, identifying the node’s level in the hierarchy and its sequence on its level.

Trees and tree nodes are usually created and edited in the Applet Designer.

Properties


Applet (O) When the user clicks on the corresponding node in the tree, the applet opens on the right side. This is typically a list applet, although that is not required.

If the Applet property is left blank, nothing opens in the right-hand side of the view, which may be desirable in some situations.


Not supported. Not applicable.

Bitmap Index (O)(H) Integer used to select a bitmap for the document symbol as a subset of a multiimage bitmap.

Set this to a value of 5 = document symbol.

Used internally.

Bitmap Index Field (O)(H)

Max Child Items (O) An integer that sets a limit on the number of child items that appear under the tree node.

An arrow appears to let the user scroll further if desired.

Name (R) Name of the tree node object definition. Must be unique within the tree object definition.

Position (R) Pair, triplet, and so on of integer values separated by periods indicating the hierarchical level of the tree node in the tree structure and the sequence of the tree node at its level.

The top node is position 1. The first (sequentially) of the first-level subordinates is 1.1. The number of integers provides the level, and the value gives the sequence at that level.

Recursive (S) A TRUE or FALSE value indicating whether or not the tree is recursive, that is, having only one object type (node), whose children are of the same object type, down to some unspecified number of levels.

For example, accounts can have subaccounts, which themselves have subaccounts.

TRUE — The tree is recursive.

Recursive Link (O) The name of the link object definition that describes the relationship within the business component’s record structure.

Used for recursive trees.

Root Search Spec (O) A string value that qualifies the top level of the tree, primarily for recursive trees. The Root Search Spec setting identifies how to come up with the list of top-level records. Creates a starting point for the tree.

Example: [Parent Account Id] is NULL.

Add To History (O) Defines whether or not a view is included in the historical list of views to which a user has navigated to during a session. This history is accessed by clicking the browser's Back button.

TRUE or FALSE.

Admin Mode Flag (O) A TRUE or FALSE value.

Admin mode disables all visibility rules. Setting this to TRUE ignores any insert update visibility restrictions on the view. This should only be set for server level administrative views.

If the Admin Mode visibility property is set to TRUE, and if pop-up visibility is also set for the business component, then pop-up visibility still takes effect.

Also if view is configured in Admin Mode, the business component visibility type is ignored unless it is set to Organization.

See also “Admin Mode Flag” on page 329

TRUE — Designates the view as one that operates in Admin mode.

Background Bitmap (O)(H)

A bitmap to be used as the background of the entire view area.



Business Object (R) The name of a business object that forms the basis of the visual representation.

Container Web Page (O)(H)

The container page to place this view into.

Overrides the container web page setting in the Application object.

Drop Sectors (R)(H) The pair of sectors to drop in six-sector mode for resolutions less than 1024 by 768.

Valid values are 0and4, 1and5, 2and6, and 3and7.

Explicit Logon (O) A TRUE or FALSE value. TRUE — Requires that the user has explicitly logged on through the logon Web page to see this view.



Help Identifier (O) A topic name for context-sensitive help. The name is a constant character string, all uppercase, with no blanks, as in ID_VIEW_OPPORTUNITY_LIST.

HTML Bitmap (O) An icon that can be used as a link to the view.

HTML Popup Dimension (O)

Dimension, in pixels, of the pop-up window.

An example is 640x480 (specified with a small x and without blank spaces).

Name (R) The name of the view.

All references to the view are made through its name.

No Borders (O)(H) A TRUE or FALSE value that controls borders around applets.

This can be used in conjunction with a view background bitmap to provide a contiguous canvas look.

TRUE — Causes the user interface to be rendered with no borders around the applets and no spacing between the applets.

Sector0 Applet (R)(H) The applet that appears in sector 0 of the view.











Secure (O) A TRUE or FALSE value.

If TRUE, the Siebel Web Engine verifies that the current request used the HTTPS protocol. This prevents a client from obtaining access to a secure view by typing HTTP instead of HTTPS into their browser.

See also “Admin Mode Flag” on page 329.

The default is FALSE.

TRUE — All URLs to the view generated by the Siebel Web Engine specify the HTTPS protocol.

Status Text (O)(H) Not used in this release.

Text Style (O)(H) Defines the named text style to be used by default by all controls in the applets in the view, if the control and applet do not explicitly specify a text style.

Thread Applet (O) The name of the applet that contains the field whose data value is used as part of the thread title.

The source field is identified by the Thread Field property.

Thread Field (O) The name of the field of the thread applet whose data value is used as part of the thread title.

The source applet is identified by the Thread Applet property.

Thread Title (O) The text used as the thread title label.

Title (O) Not used. Not applicable.

Upgrade Behavior (R) This property is set by Oracle and cannot be modified.


Admin or Null





Admin Mode FlagIf the view is in Admin mode, then the following restrictions for the business components used by the applets of the view are ignored: no insert, no merge, and no update. However, if these restrictions are set at the applet level rather than the business component level, or if a field has a Read Only value of TRUE, the Admin mode does not circumvent them.

Vertical Line Position (O)(H)

Determines the relative position of the dividing line between applets in sectors 0 to 3 versus those in sectors 4 to 7.

Primarily applicable for tree applets.

This property is especially useful for views that contain tree applets; it is desirable for the tree applet to occupy only about one-third of the width of the application. Therefore, this setting should be in the 4 to 8 range; otherwise, one applet or the other is likely to be distorted by stretching or compression.

Valid value range is between 0 and 12. A value of 0 is all the way to the left, 12 is all the way to the right, and 6 is in the middle.

The default is 6.

Visibility Applet (O) Identifies which of the applets in the view is the one where visibility is controlled. Usually this is the list (upper) applet in a list-form view or the master applet in a master-detail view.

The Visibility Applet property must be set to the master applet of the given view.

This property is used in conjunction with Visibility Applet Type.

For more information, read “Visibility Settings” on page 330.

Visibility Applet Type (O)

The visibility mode that is applied to the applet indicated in the Visibility Applet property.

This property can be overridden by the View Web Template’s Applet Visibility Type property.

For more information, read “Visibility Settings” on page 330.

Valid values are All, Catalog, Group, Manager, Organization, Personal, Sales Rep, and Sub Organization.



Siebel Object Types ■ View Locale

In Admin Mode the user can display every record, even those with no primary team member designated. This is distinct from All visibility, which shows all records that have a primary team member designated. The Account Administration view, Opportunity Administration view, and Product Administration view are examples of Admin mode views.

A conflict may arise on a view with the Admin Mode property set to True if the underlying business component has visibility configured on a Multi Value Link (MVL) and Multi Value Field (MVF) and either Force Active set at the business component level or Force Active set on the visibility MVF.

SecureThe implementation of HTTPS is external to the Siebel Web Engine. HTTPS is negotiated by the browser and the Web Server. The Siebel Web Engine only specifies that HTTPS be used for a particular view. Therefore, any server that is expected to provide secure views must have HTTPS enabled.

Visibility SettingsA view not set up with visibility settings (the properties Visibility Applet and Visibility Applet Type are blank) means the following:

When navigating from another view to this view without visibility settings using the Show drop-down list, the queries context and record focus are kept from the previous view, assuming that the same business components and search specifications are relevant.

However, when navigating to a view without visibility settings using the Site Map or the Screen Tabs, the view behaves as if the most restrictive visibility would apply to this view. (Normally this means Personal or Sales Rep visibility, depending on the corresponding visibility settings of the business component of the view's Thread Applet property.)

From these workflow policy components, the workflow conditions (workflow policy columns) that are available for monitoring in the workflow policy can be defined.

Properties


Join Spec (O) Specifies an additional join between this workflow policy component and the target workflow policy component, when the existing join is to an intersection table and would therefore return multiple rows. The second join restricts the relationship so that only one row is returned at a time. The expression entered in the property is equivalent to an additional WHERE clause in SQL, and it takes the form:

workflow_component.foreign_key = business_component.primary_key

Example: The following join specification occurs in the Primary Opportunity/Position workflow policy component in the Opportunity workflow object:

[Primary Opportunity/Position].OPTY_ID = [Opportunity].ROW_ID

The component named must be in brackets.
